Hey, my Name is Marlu and I did an internship here in Hvammstangi for one month.

I worked with Jessica at Húnaklúbburinn, I worked with Johann at the FabLab and the youth center Órion and with Luis at Reykjaskóli. So I saw a lot of different things and experienced something new every day. I had some really fun Friday afternoons with the kids from the Adventure Club. We went hiking, we played frisbee-golf like professionals, did a scavenger hunt at the beach and went kayaking. I also worked a little bit on the Húnaklúbburinn website and learned new things about webdesign. I spend a few hours trying to figure out the machines that Johann bought for the FabLab, supervised the E-Sports Club and definitely gotten better at ping pong after all the Tuesday afternoons I played at Orion. I spend a week at Reykjaskóli and job shadowed Luis.

I can not write everything down I learned and experienced here because it would be way to much.

I already miss my time here in Iceland and I hope to come back one day :)

Hey, mein Name ist Marlu und ich habe hier in Hvammstangi für einen Monat ein Praktikum gemacht.

Ich habe mit Jessica bei Húnaklúbburinn gearbeitet, mit Johann im FabLab und dem Jugendzentrum Órion und mit Luis bei Reykjaskoli. Ich habe also ganz viele verschiedene Dinge gesehen und jeden Tag etwas anderes erlebt. Ich hatte ein paar sehr witzige Freitag Nachmittage mit den Kindern vom Adventure Club. Wir sind wandern gegangen, haben frisbee-golf wie Profis gespielt, haben eine Schatzsuche am Strand gemacht und sind Kajak fahren gegangen. Ich habe auch ein bisschen an der Húnaklúbburinn Website gearbeitet und neue Dinge über webdesgin gelernt. Ich habe einige Stunden gebraucht um die Maschinen die Johann für das FabLab gekauft hat zu verstehen, ich habe den E-Sport Club mit beaufsichtigt und bin definitiv besser im Tischtennis spielen geworden. Ich habe eine Woche in Reykjaskóli verbracht und Luis bei seinem Job begleitet.



Ich kann gar nicht alles aufschreiben was ich hier erlebt habe, weil das einfach zu viel wäre.


Ich vermisse meine Zeit hier in Island jetzt schon und hoffe eines Tages zurück zu kommen :)

From 02-08 March Húnaklúbburinn is traveling to Italy for our final youth exchange with the project Midnight's Light.

The project is called Midnight’s Light because we discuss topics that are important to youth that might be dark or light in thoughts and feelings. Through theater, art, and self-expression the youth learn how to better communicate who they are and who they want to become. The project is a social project focusing on mental well-being in youth and how to express ourselves in a resilient way through communication, self-expression and through connection with nature and to community.

We have worked together in three countries
  •  01-07 July 2024 Loviisa, Finland 
  •  25 Nov - 01 Dec 2024 Hvammstangi, Iceland
  • 02 -08 March 2025 Sarteano, Italy

Verkefnið CAP-SHARE: Byggjum brýr á milli vísindafólks, stefnumótenda og samfélaga (á ensku CAP-SHARE: Building Bridges of Shared Capacity between Scientists, Policymakers, and Communities) hefur hlotið styrk frá Norðurslóðaáætlun Evrópusambandsins (Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic) sem nemur rúmum 120 milljónum króna. Um er að ræða þriggja ára verkefni sem byrjar nú í haustog endar haustið 2027. Markmið verkefnisins er að valdefla ungt fólk og styrkja tengsl vísindafólks og stefnumótenda í samfélögum á norðurslóðum þegar kemur að ákvarðanatöku varðandi verndun líffræðilegrar fjölbreytni og  aðgerðir gegn loftslagsbreytingum. Áhersla verður lögð á samvinnu við ungmenni og áðurnefndir hópar munu taka þátt í vinnustofum þar sem rödd allra fær að heyrast.

Þátttakendur í verkefninu eru Náttúruminjasafn Íslands, Selasetrið, Húnaklúbburinn og sveitarfélagið Húnaþing vestra ásamt samtökunum Arctic Frontiers í Noregi og Háskóla Lapplands í Finnlandi. Vinnan mun fara fram að hluta til í netheimum en einnig verða vinnustofur og ráðstefnur haldnar í hverju landi fyrir sig þar sem þrjú þemu munu liggja til grundvallar:

  • Byggja brýr á milli samfélaga, stefnumótenda og vísindafólks
  • Hvernig taka skuli tillit til sjónarhorna þvert á kynslóðir heimafólks
  • Fá ungt fólk til að taka þátt í og hafa áhrif á staðbundnar aðgerðir allt frá hugmyndum að stefnumótun

Verkefnið byggir að hluta til á eldra verkefni sem Jessica Aquino, dósent við ferðamáladeild Háskólans á Hólum leiddi og nefndist Youth for Arctic Nature. Jessica mun einnig vinna við nýja verkefnið ásamt Cécile Chauvat en hún hefur verið ráðin til Náttúruminjasafnsins sem starfsmaður verkefnisins og verður hún með starfsstöð á Hvammstanga.

New Interreg NPA project - CAP-SHARE

We are pleased to announce our new project CAP-SHARE: Building Bridges of Shared Capacity between Scientists, Policymakers, and Communities which has received funding from the European Union's Northern Periphery and Arctic Program amounting to 120 million ISK. It is a three-year project that starts this fall and will end in the fall of 2027. The goal of the project is to empower young people and strengthen the relationship between scientists, policymakers, and Arctic communities when it comes to decision-making regarding the protection of biodiversity and climate change mitigation. Emphasis will be placed on cooperation with young people and the aforementioned groups will participate in workshops where everyone's voice can be heard.

The participants in Iceland are the Natural History Museum of Iceland, the Icelandic Seal Center, the municipality of Húnaþing vestra, and the youth club Húnaklúbburinn. They will work together with Arctic Frontiers in Norway and the University of Lapland in Finland. Some of the work will be carried out online, but local workshops and events will be also held in each country, based on three themes:

  • Co-creating bridges between communities, policymakers, and scientists
  • Recognizing intergenerational local and indigenous knowledge
  • Involving youth in place-based actions from conception to policy

The project is partly based on an past project called Youth for Arctic Nature led by Jessica Aquino, associate professor in the Rural Tourism Department at Hólar University. Jessica will also work on the new project together with Cécile Chauvat, who has been hired by the Natural History Museum as an employee of the project and will be based in Hvammstangi.
