Our partners in the North Móðurmál á Norðurlandi participated yesterday in the project "Kynntu þér samfélagið!”, organized by Þekkingarnet Þingeyinga in Húsavík.

Móðurmál á Norðurlandi is our first group outside of the capital area and has been offering activities for bilingual families for almost two years.

We look forward to hearing more about their work!

„Oft þarf ekki nema eitt gott samtal til að kveikja áhuga hjá einhverjum á að taka þátt, gerast sjálfboðaliði eða hefja nýtt áhugamál. Viðburðurinn sýndi vel hversu öflugt og fjölbreytt félagsstarfið á Húsavík er,“ segir Sunna Rae.

In 1994, parents with five different languages got together to help each other teach their children their mother tongues. Today, 23 active groups regularly work on Saturdays from September to May, always improving their ways to teach children their mother tongues.
