Clean up activity in as part of the Falling Walls, Moving Cultures seminar

The first beach of 2007 to be cleaned was part of the coastline outside the house of the President of Iceland, at Bessastadir. The beach clean up was included in a seminar organised by Veraldavinir, called 'Falling Walls, Moving Cultures', and involved children from immigrant families in Iceland.

 

The day began with a garbage game, where the participants had to construct animals from the waste found on the beach. Many interesting designs were made, but the winner was the group who constructed the garbage mouse.

After the game, a clean-up activity was carried out. The children, parents, teachers and members of the seminar group cleaned the beach, despite heavy winds. Many pieces of garbage were found including wood, an oil drum, a tyre and various pieces of plastic. 

 Veraldavinir´s first clean up activity of 2007 was a complete success and was enjoyed by all!
