DIY: self-help group of English-speaking squatters DIY - 22.10.2007 10:55
DIY* FACT: Squatters and housing activists living in Amsterdam who do not have Dutch as their native language often encounter a language / culture barrier that adds an extra layer of difficulty to their activism. The DIY (* Do-It-Yourself) self-help group consists of English-language activists that meet every first and third Sunday of the month to help each other with these problems. Translation issues, Dutch housing politics / laws / activism, dealing with the NUON, whatever you want to discuss... Next meetings: 7pm, Sunday November 4th & 18th. 't Blijvertje, Derde Oosterparkstraat 64hs, East Amsterdam oosterparkbuurt@gmail.com / www.slimblijven.nl/ www.myspace.com/tblijvertje The meetings take place after the “open microphone” sessions at ‘t Blijvertje, which start at 16.00 and ends at 19.00 (it fades over into the DIY meeting). There are drinks and snacks. - Print the posters and spread the word! E-Mail: oosterparkbuurt@gmail.com Website: http://www.slimblijven.nl |
