About the social activities

Throughout the city, there are 17 active community centers open to Reykjavík residents of all ages. The goal of social activities is to prevent and lessen social isolation by offering open community and leisure activities along with a variety of classes. Social activities serves as a platform for community, human interactions, and creative pursuits. We strive to engage the initiative and skills of everyone. Lunch and coffee are available at all these locations.

Each location offers its own program, comprised of various exciting activities. For example, there are workshops, craft workshops, art workshops, and diverse club activities, gaming, excursions, dance, and physical education. There are also numerous annual and/or occasional events such as barbecue parties, fall celebrations, and þorrablót. Emphasis is placed on spontaneous social activities, and anyone can contribute to their development.
