Practical Cultural Exchange (Hagnýt menningarmiðlun) is a master’s/graduate level programme at the University of Iceland that prepares students who wish to work in media of any kind. The programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach and the aim is for students to gain experience that enables them to work in different fields of cultural exchange, both independently and in collaboration with others.
The directors of Hafnarborg, Hafnarfjörður Library and Hafnarfjörður´s Byggðarsafn taught students about their collections, different synergistic ways of including the cultural flora, the development that are taking place and is transmitted directly into the activities of the museums. There is a strong emphasis on reaching as many age groups as possible, preferably everyone, and offering events and exhibitions that appeal to different groups.
