Information about the event
Tengivirkið - Young People Connect
Today at Tengivirkið we will receive a presentation from Johnathan Wood, an Equal rights officer of the National Union for Icelandic Students and a volunteer at Student Refugees Iceland, who will tell us about the two organisations.
At Student Refugees Iceland, refugees and asylum seekers can get help with seeking higher education programmes in Iceland. ,,Therefore, the platform Student Refugees seeks to provide all the relevant information about how to fulfil requirements and apply for a higher education in Iceland. Moreover, Student Refugees provides information on overcoming common obstacles that refugees and asylum seekers run into when trying to access higher education.,,
The National Union of Icelandic Students is the umbrella organisations for all student unions at universities in Iceland and it's mainly safeguards the rights of students in Iceland and Icelandic students abroad.
At Tengivirkið - Young People Connect, people aged 16 - 25, whose native language is not Icelandic, meet others with diverse backgrounds and experience, in a good and relaxing environment. They learn some Icelandic through diverse ways with an experienced teacher and receive some presentations from interesting organisations and parties.
