Vinalestur Heiðrúnar, an Icelandic school within Móðurmál, was participating in the Children’s Culture Festival in Reykjavík recently.
During the Children’s culture festival, a public exhibition in Fella- og Hólakirkja showcased the results of the childrens creative effort during the winter semester. The children had worked on a model of a small village together. The houses in the village were inspired by the children’s country of origin, while the street reflects their new homeland – Iceland. The work shows in a unique way how different origins meet in Iceland and become one whole. This street is also the setting for the book Lífið í Leifsgötu. The characters in the stories live in the houses and venture out into the street, square or garden, where they experience adventures or challenges, which ultimately have a happy ending of some sort.
During the opening, the children sang and performed music, creating a warm and happy atmosphere. The book Lífið í Leifsgötu was also available for purchase during the opening hours of the exhibition.
