Book

My country

This book is a game. We are going to invent together a new nation and, at the same time, we will think why in different countries and different times people think so differently about what is the "nation"?

A4kids “What is Nation” in Reykjavík’s central library

Come check out the exhibition that showcases the results of a workshop for kids 9-12 years old held earlier this summer. The kids looked at the term nation and used their own imagination and critical thinking to express their thoughts and create their own utopian society.

Post production of the book “What is Nation?”

Children's contributions from the workshops of "What is Nation" were amazing! We are starting to work on the postproduction of the book.
