A safe and welcoming environment for our young people
The aim of the work is for the young people to feel safe, welcome and to have the opportunity to flourish. The work is based largely on peer education, and the young people will be tasked with raising awareness of issues affecting LGBTQ+ youth and celebrating diversity in Hafnarfjörður. On Thursday, 23rd February, there will be an open house and information session for parents, guardians, family members, and anyone who wants to learn about the activities of HHH. At 17:00, the house opens and you will be able to look around the premises, take part in some light games and have a chat with the staff. The organisation Samtökin 78 will be there at 18:00 with an education session on LGBTQ+ issues for young people, which everyone can benefit from.
