New Group to Meet Others and Strengthen Social Connections

Let’s Break Isolation and Strengthen Connections!

A new group program for young people aged 16–25 will begin in the coming weeks at Hreiðrið in the Innovation Center by Lækurinn. The group is for those who want to reach out for connection and friendship.

“The group is intended for young people who have become socially isolated for any reason, as well as for anyone who wants to meet others,” says Berglind Rún Torfadóttir, head of the program. She brings experience from a similar project at Hitt Húsið and says this new group is based on the idea of Vinfús developed there.

“We will focus on strengthening participants socially and creating a healthy space for recreation and fun,” she says. “A varied program will be developed in collaboration with the group.”

The group will meet weekly on Tuesdays from 17:00–20:00. “Registration takes place here, and we plan for the program to begin in November.” Participation is free of charge.

“We hope to have about ten people in the group,” says Berglind. “From my experience, connections always form in these kinds of groups, and we emphasize creating a good environment where participants can connect with others, grow socially, and make good acquaintances and friends.”
