Life at the HI Hostels

Life at the hostels' project aims at spreading eco-conscious behaviour through photos, videos and testimonies from travellers.

The main aim of the project is to offer effective information-promotion of applied sustainability at the HI Hostels and to emphasize the role of hostelling and youth in sustainable tourism and its contribution to the global movement towards sustainable development.
The project is meant to capture the hostel life and the way we apply the concept of sustainability in hostelling through testimonies from both staff and guests, in photos and short introductory videos. This aspect includes activities that refer to all 3 pillars of sustainability: social, economic and environment. In this way we believe we can help and inspire others to shift from a conventional thinking and practices to a sustainable, community based life, in harmony with the surrounding environment. As stated in our mission, HI Iceland seeks ways to increase the knowledge and appreciation of nature and culture of its staff and guests.
