Open house will be moved outdoors this summer when the weather is good. We will decide each time what to do exactly but we could for example play games, have a picnic, go to a concert or whatever we feel like doing. Tomorrow, Friday evening, we will choose some outdoor activity if the weather allows us but if not, we will watch a high cultural French movie.

The Open house starts at 20 and we will meet in the Intercultural Centre’s basement, Laugarvegur 37 (entrance from side alley).
