Sustainable creativity – At Hallormsstaðaskóli we aim to empower our students by equipping them with the tools to reassert their independence and autonomy and thus have the ability to create their own lives – independent of the tossing and turning of the world around them. This, we believe, is the best way to get control over one’s own life – and at the same time – one’s impact on the natural world. This is the best way towards sustainability.
