Program
The festival program is full of amazing workshops! Thanks to all these knowledgeble folks giving their work to contribute to making a great experience for us all we can all learn so much and still keep the ticket prices at a bare minimum. The ticket price is almost only covering the 9 meals included during the festival. All planning, cooking and teaching happening before and during the festival is based on gift economy.
We have put a lot of effort into making a rich and exciting program for kids and teenagers too! They’ll have propper workshops where they can learn, play and get to know each other. Often there are more than one kid’s workshop running at the same time, aimed for different age groups. Some workshops are specifically designed for older kids or teenagers. Make sure to check out the age-group for each workshop in the program listed below.
Here’s a map showing all the different locations (which are named after icelandic animals). In the program below you can see in which location each of the activities is happening:
