The Tin Can Factory - Reykjavík, Iceland

The name of our school is related to our new location at Borgartún 1, a building that used to be a tin can factory. A tin can contains something we consume, something that can be preserved for a long time. The tin can has in a way been the symbol for consumerism, and Andy Warhol and other famous artists have used the tin can to describe the world of consumers.

Our work at The Tin Can Factory is above all related to culture. We have our Language School (skoli.eu) where you learn languages, but our activities are also about history, culture and food culture. In a way, we are making "virtual" tin cans of entertainment, language, history and culture, things to learn and enjoy. Our groups are small - we are not at a big factory level, but a personal level. All the "products" at The Tin
