2025 summer workshop brochure

Primary school summer workshops from Reykjavík's Department of Education & Youth will be held at Háteigsskóli and other locations on Aug. 11, 12 and 13, 2025.

We're offering 47 courses this year with an outstanding program selection. However, all courses depend on minimum enrollment, so it's important to register as soon as possible to ensure interesting workshops don't get canceled. Participation fees will be collected through a payment slip in your online bank at the end of June/beginning of July.

All courses will be held at Háteigsskóli unless otherwise noted.

Registration happens through the Torgið education system. Participants log into Torgið using their Reykjavík network username and password. Staff who need help with login should contact their immediate supervisor.

A few days before the course, participants will receive a reminder email at their work address with time and location information. You can easily unregister if needed by clicking the "View course" link.
