  • Iceland and the Crisis: Territory, Europe, Identity
    Revista Română de Geografie Politică Year XIII, no. 1, May 2011, pp. 5-15 ISSN 1454-2749, E-ISSN 2065-1619 Article no. 131101-216 ICELAND AND THE CRISIS: TERRITORY, EUROPE, IDENTITY Luca ZARRILLI* University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Italy. Department of Economics and History of the Territory, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The growing phase of Iceland’s economy, which began after World War II, was brusquely interrupted in October 2008, when the country was brought to the verge of bankruptcy and Icelanders were catapulted in the so- called kreppa: the very serious financial and social crisis with which Icelanders will have to deal in the years to come. The financial crisis, actually, has been producing, in the last two-year period, significant consequences also in terms of domestic politics, international relations (with special regard to an entry in the EU backed by the new government), cultural debate and even national identity, in addition to the highly evident economic effects. An exploitation of the advanced skills that Iceland has achieved in areas related to the analysis and the governance of the territory could be the response to the crisis from the points of view of environmental sustainability and business diversification. Additionally, it could represent a reaffirmation – as well as a redefinition – of a cultural identity. Key words: Iceland, crisis, EU, territory, identity ****** Iceland between reality and stereotype – In the collective imagery, Iceland distinguishes itself because of its geological and natural features, according to a stereotyped vision of this land (a land characterised by “ice and fire”, “the wild” and “the extreme”).

  • Exploring Human Rights in the Police Education an Icelandic Case Study
    Exploring Human Rights in the Police Education An Icelandic Case Study Anne-Marie Tremblay-Quenneville Thesis for a BA degree Faculty of Education and Diversity Exploring Human Rights in the Police Education An Icelandic Case Study Anne-Marie Tremblay-Quenneville Thesis for BA degree in International Studies in Education Supervisor: Susan Elizabeth Gollifer Faculty of Education and Diversity University of Iceland School of Education June 2019 Exploring Human Rights in the Police Education: An Icelandic Case Study This thesis satisfies 10 credits towards a BA in International Studies in Education in the Faculty of Education and Diversity, University of Iceland School of Education © Anne-Marie Tremblay-Quenneville, 2019 This thesis may not be copied in any form without author permission. Abstract Changing demographics combined with the globalization brought new challenges to the Icelandic society. For instance, the new ethnic diversity in the population provoked tensions between police officers and marginalized groups. Almost at the same period, in 2016, the police education moved from the police academy to a university degree, in a program where human rights are a key concept to better the practices. My research questions are how human rights are addressed in the Icelandic police education and how they inform their professional development? The focus was put on examining two courses of the program and Tibbitts Accountability/Professional Development human rights education model. I conclude that the courses include the main features of the model, by amongst other using efficient teaching and learning strategies to help the police officers to protect and reduce human rights violation, but that they would likely gain to include a better critical reflective component.

Adaptive community-driven resource management is vital to build resilience. Only communities committed to ongoing learning can adapt to a continuously changing environment. This is why environmental education (EE) should be community-focussed and part of coastal and marine management. Key informants were interviewed in Ísafjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland to gather perceptions about local coastal and marine environmental issues and EE.

  • The Development of Education and Grammatica in Medieval Iceland
    The Development of Education and Grammatica in Medieval Iceland By Ryder Patzuk-Russell A Thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Medieval History Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham November 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This study explores how education and the medieval intellectual and pedagogical discipline of grammatica developed in Iceland during the medieval period, defined roughly from the official conversion to Christianity c.1000 to the Reformation c.1550. The first chapter deals with social, institutional, and financial aspects of teaching and learning in medieval Iceland, surveying key figures and places, but also arguing that more attention should be paid to the costs of learning and the effect of that on poor students. The second chapter addresses Latin education, discussing the importance of Latinity in medieval Iceland and the types of education that would involve Latin. It also addresses the idea of bilingual education and suggests ways in which extant vernacular writings can provide evidence for how Latin was taught and learned using the vernacular, using the model of Old English bilingual education.

  • Cultural Diplomacy the Icelandic Way
    DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE Cultural Diplomacy The Icelandic Way The current state of Iceland’s cultural diplomacy practices Master Thesis in Cultural Management Student: Bergþóra Laxdal Advisor: Dr. Gregory Payne Fall – 2016 ABSTRACT This 30 ECT credit MA thesis is a case study that discusses the role of the Government of Iceland and the creative centers in Iceland when publicly funding cultural projects that take place internationally. The objective is to examine the current state of how the Government of Iceland conducts its cultural diplomacy practices. In examining the Government practices on this topic, the following three questions are pursued; is there an informal cultural diplomacy policy in place; what principles drive that policy and what strategic approach is in place to fulfill the policy? The participants were selected due to their expertise in the cultural affairs of Iceland, and were divided into two groups. The first group, the Expert Committee on Art and Culture Expert Committee on Art and Culture headed by Promote Iceland, was selected to identify the Government agencies from which the creative centers receive their public funding and to gain insight into how projects that receive public funding are selected to represent Iceland abroad. This group delivered their answers in a written open ended questionnaire. The second group, Government cultural representatives with responsibilities in distributing public funding, was selected to get an overview of how the distribution of funds takes place and delivered their answers through an interview. The results were analyzed according to theories about policy and policy streams and strategy processes. The results support the view of an informal cultural policy being in place.

They are a part of an international Emovement of young people who rightly point out the fact that today’s decisions determine their future. Climate change is a crisis for humanity as a whole; rendering traditional territorial borders meaningless. International collaboration is the only way forward. The Millennium Development Goals, adopted in 2000, were often referred to as “the world’s biggest promise”. They were a global agreement to reduce poverty and human deprivation. And they did. The MDGs lifted more than one billion people out of extreme poverty. The goals provided access to water and sanitation; drove down child mortality; drastically improved maternal health; cut the number of children out of school; and made huge advances in combatting HIV/AIDS and malaria. The Sustainable Development Goals are a bold commitment to finish what has been started. Coinciding with the historic Paris Agreement on climate change, the SDGs are the promise our young people are calling for, of sustainability, equality and wellbeing for all. The SDGs are also an important reminder that sustainable development is not just an issue for faraway places. Each and every one of us has both rights and obligations in this context. While some of the SDGs might feel distant from our daily lives, they encompass everything that makes life worthwhile, such as education, water, peace and equality, to name just a few.
