Langelstur – Friendship Across All Ages (IS)

Where: Skálin
Duration: 45 min.

What happens when a six-year-old and a ninety-seven-year-old become best friends?
In the Langelstur books, we meet Eið, a brave girl starting school, and Ragnar, an old man who refuses to learn how to read. Their unexpected friendship creates both magical moments and meaningful conversations about how we can learn from each other, no matter our age.

The books explore important themes such as friendship, loneliness, and finding self-confidence. How can we trust our friends and believe in ourselves in a world that can often feel isolating?
In a time when screens take up so much space, these stories remind us of the importance of real, human connection – and that’s exactly what they teach.

Join an inspiring session with author Bergrún Íris Sævarsdóttir, who will share how the stories of Eið and Ragnar came to life.
The Langelstur books are loved for their beautiful language and have received several awards, including the West Nordic Council’s Literature Prize.
This event offers both children and adults a wonderful opportunity to discover how literature can build bridges between generations – and perhaps spark new friendships along the way!

Organizer: The Consulate of Iceland in the Faroe Islands.
