International Mother Language Day: 21st February

Grófin Culture House traditionally prepared a program for plurilingual children and invited Móðurmál to introduce our program and activities.

We celebrated the International Mother Language Day by inviting children and their families to write letters in their own mother language to a relative or a friend, whether they live in Svalbard, Siglufjörður or Senegal.

Easy instructions for how to make an envelope-letter and postboxes were in each and every library. A big red “real” postbox we borrow from the post-service was placed at Grófin Culture House. The letters from all the libraries were collected, stamped and put into the red postbox. The Post Service came and made sure the letters would travel to all relatives and friends.

Móðurmál presented among other things also the environmental project Children research natural and language resources
