Samvera
Samvera is a weekly event that brings together Icelandic learners and Icelandic speakers.
Together, we will get to know each other over coffee and chat about Icelandic nature and society, while practicing the language in a safe and friendly environment.
Samvera - outdoors
Nature walks

Then September 5th to September 26th

Gerðuberg
Together we will get to know each other over a cup of coffee and chat about Icelandic nature and society in a friendly and safe environment, while enjoying the outdoors.
All are welcome who are interested in the outdoors and want to meet new people, regardless of language. We will meet at the library in Gerðuberg (Breiðholt, 11 Reykjavík), have a coffee and chat a bit before going for a light walk nearby and in the Elliðaárdalur valley. When the weather is very bad we will stay at the library and play board games.
The library is on the upper floor of a house at Gerðuberg 3-5 in Breiðholt. Buses: 3, 4, 12, 17 (stop: FB).'
The walk will be led by teachers of Icelandic as a second language.
Samvera - What's new?
Let's read the news together
Every Saturday from October 3rd to December 19th
From 11.30 to 13.30
Gerðuberg
Come have coffee and read Icelandic news with other learners and Icelandic people. Join if you want to learn more complex vocabulary, discuss what is going on in Iceland and learn about important topics that might affect you. We will use news articles in easy to understand Icelandic. This is supposed to be a safe space for learners and we will avoid news articles that are too divisive or traumatic. Board games will also be on offer.
The event will be led by teachers of Icelandic as a second language.

Join us for a series of creative writing workshops in Icelandic where we play with words and spend time together in the library in a relaxed environment.
We welcome Icelandic learners and natives alike; the workshops are aimed at anyone who wants to nurture their relationship to the Icelandic language by using it in their creative practice.
We will meet weekly, you can join once, every week or anything in between. No sign up, just show up. The workshops are free, we provide papers, pencils, light refreshments, and wonderful writers that will share their creative practices and relationships to the Icelandic language during the workshops.
