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.

There will be 3 different activities:

Nature walks (í náttúrunni)

Every Saturday from April 18th to May 30th, then September 5th to September 26th, from 11:30 to 13:30
Gerðuberg

We will explore walking paths around Gerðuberg, learn nature related vocabulary and chat in an environment that is friendly and safe for Icelandic learners while enjoying being outdoors. The group meets first at the library in Gerðuberg to have coffee and chat, then we will go for a light walk in the surrounding area, including in Ellidáardalur.
When the weather is bad, we will stay in the library and play board games.
The walk will be led by teacher of Icelandic as a second language Margrét Olsen.

Let's read the news together (Hvað er að frétta?)

Every Saturday from October 3rd to December 19th
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 a teacher of Icelandic as a second language Margrét Olsen.

Poetry workshops (Samljóða)

Every Wednesday from September 16th to December 2nd, 16:30-18:00
Grófin
During these events, Icelandic learners and native or fluent speakers alike will play with the Icelandic language to create poems. The workshops will be led by both Icelandic writers and writers with Icelandic as a second language. Details will be confirmed later in the year.
