Sólveig Anna Jónsdóttir, chair of Efling, met today with Jónína Rósa Hjartardóttir, chair of Átak, the association of people with intellectual disabilities, and Heiða Vigdís Sigfúsdóttir, the association’s managing director.

The meeting covered job opportunities for Átak’s members, among other topics. They also discussed possible cooperation between Efling and Átak to raise awareness of the rights of people with intellectual disabilities in the Icelandic labour market.


Another idea discussed was a special tab on Efling’s website with content in Easy Read, because everyone has the right to information in a language they understand.


Sólveig Anna says the meeting was very useful and enjoyable, and she hopes for good collaboration with Átak.

A large number of people attended the family movie screening organized by Efling at Laugarásbíó on Friday, 23 October, during the school autumn break. The film shown was Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, and both children and parents had a fantastic time. Movie screenings like this have become a well-established and popular part of Efling’s social activities. Events of this kind give members and their families an opportunity to spend quality time together and create enjoyable shared memories.

Fjöldi fólks ferðaðist í Laugarásbíó föstudaginn 23. október síðastliðinn þegar Efling stóð fyrir fjölskyldubíósýningu í vetrarfríi skóla. Sýnd var myndin Hrúturinn hreinn: Forynjan á Flóamýri og bæði börn og foreldrar skemmtu sér konunglega. Bíósýningar sem þessi hafa fest sig í sessi í félagslífi Eflingar og njóta mikilla vinsælda. Viðburðir sem þessi gefa félagsfólki og fjölskyldum þeirra tækifæri til að eiga gæðastundir saman og skapa góðar minningar.
