Dóra Björt Guðjónsdóttir is amazing not only because of her passion to create positive change in Iceland, but also because she is the youngest person in Iceland’s history to be elected as the President of the City Council. Dóra’s passion and values, which are aligned with the Pirate Party in Iceland, shine through strongly in this interview.
We ended up chatting for an hour and twenty minutes in Reykjavík City Hall. In order to keep these episodes relatively short, I have broken this interview up into three parts. During this episode, which is part one, you will hear about what sparked Dóra’s interest in politics, how studying and living abroad helped her form ideas about how Iceland can change for the better, what it is like to be the youngest President of City Council and what is the toughest part of her job.
The Questions I Asked Reykjavík’s Youngest President of City Council
- When did you become interested in governmental affairs? Why did you decide to get involved in politics in Iceland?
- You are the youngest person in the history of the country to be elected as the President of the City Counsel. What does your job entail?
- What do you feel is the toughest part about being involved in politics in Iceland?
I hope you enjoyed listening to part 1 of this interview. Part 2 will be released next week, so make sure you are subscribed to the All Things Iceland podcast so you don’t miss it. If you are able to leave a review, please do so, if you haven’t already.
