Learn more about the
Snorri Program
The Snorri Program gives young people in North America, from the
age 18-23+, who have an Icelandic background, an opportunity to dis-
cover their roots in Iceland during a six-week summer program.
The program offers a two-week “cultural program" in Reykjavik and
then a period of three weeks, where participants live and work in an area
(preferably) near where the participants’ ancestors emigrated.
There were thirteen very enthusiastic and intelligent young people
who participated in this past summer’s program, eleven of whom lived
with their relatives during the work-period. Following their work experi-
ence period all enjoyed the fantastic natural beauty of Iceland in a week
long adventure tour around the country, and left Iceland with good mem-
ories about the land of their ancestors.
If you or anyone you know is interested in applying for the program,
the application form has to be filled out and sent before February 1,
2001.
Bestu kvedjur til allra,
