Markmið verkefnisins er að læra meira um hvernig ungmenni taka þátt í sínu samfélagi,
ungmennastarf sem er í boði og æskulýðstefnu bæði á Íslandi og Finnlandi. Í kjölfarið er
markmiðið að ræða leiðir sem færar eru við fulltrúa í hverju sveitarfélagi um hvernig hægt
væri að fá ungmenni til að taka meiri þátt í hvers konar stefnumótun í þeirra heimabæ. Þú
færð tækifæri til að hitta fólk frá Finnlandi og Íslandi ásamt tækifæri til að ferðast bæði til
Reykjavíkur og Pyhtää, Finnlandi.

Til að sækja um þarf að senda inn umsókn til okkar á Íslensku. Í umsókninni þarf að koma
fram stutt kynning á þér og af hverju þú vilt taka þátt. Við viljum líka vita af hverju verkefnið hefði gott af því að hafa akkúrat þig með og hvort að þú hafir áhuga á að blogga. Þú þarft að svara einni spurning á ensku. “How would you describe Húnaþing vestra to someone who has never been here before?”

Please send application in an email to jessica[hjá]holar.is

We have been working hard on the Youth for Arctic Nature project this autumn! We are hoping to start testing bird monitoring with youth groups in Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Svalbard, and possibly Greenland this spring.

Here is some of the material we have been developing recently. We would love some feedback on it.

We decided to create:

• Species sheets to give youth
  • General information about the different arctic species we have shortlisted for the program
    
  • When they should be present in different arctic regions
    
  • If the species is rare or not in different arctic regions
    

For the species sheets, the bottom part describes the species abundance in different regions throughout the year. A yellow curve means the species is common. IS is Iceland, FO is Faroe Islands, SV is Svalbard, and EG is East Greenland, as these are the regions we are starting with.

• Habitat sheets with the common species that frequent them so that youth can study the environment around them and decide which places they would like to monitor.
  

All of these are still drafts, but they are not going to change too much, especially the species sheets.

We are including here three species sheets, one habitat sheet, and the sheet containing the list of habitats.

Tell us what you think!

Cécile, Jessica, and Einar

On Saturday the 26th of September, Húnaklúbburinn members gathered for a crab drawing class.

First, we retrieved some crab traps from the peer. They had been left in the water overnight with bait, and were full, with twelve invasive Atlantic rock crabs and a confused sculpin inside!
