Discussions with the board of EAPN Iceland focused on developing participative and rights-based work in Iceland, involving self-organized groups in the Network and organizing the Network’s activities in working groups to involve more members and to connect better to European activities. EAPN Norway will continue to coach the relatively young Icelandic Network through this process.
Meetings were also held with the Chairperson of the Constitution Revision Committee to learn about this citizen-involvement process; with the coordinator of the Social Welfare Watch to learn about the impact of this group in safeguarding the social welfare system through the cuts and crisis revision period and with representatives of self-organised groups of people living in poverty who were part of the pots&pans revolution.
