FSC 161

== The Host City ==
The host city for this edition is Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, located on the island of Streymoy. The Scandinavian Viking settlers established their parliament on the Tinganes peninsula in 825, and Tórshavn thus became the capital of the Faroe Islands and has remained so ever since. Early on, Tórshavn became the centre of the islands' trade monopoly, thereby being the only legal place for the islanders to sell and buy goods. In 1856, the trade monopoly was abolished and the islands were left open to free trade.
By opening the islands to the world, it transformed the economy, with Tórshavn at its centre. In 1866, Tórshavn's town council was founded. The town has been the capital of the Faroe Islands ever since. Later, in 1909, Tórshavn became a market town with the same municipal charter as Danish market towns. In 1913, the Danish Folketing granted DKK 810,000 to construction of a harbour in Tórshavn.
Today, Tórshavn has an urban population of 21,000, and is the capital of the Faroe Islands, and as such is the seat of the Faroes’ self rule government. The government holds the executive power in local government affairs. Today a part of the government is located on the Tinganes peninsula of Tórshavn. The Prime Minister's office is there and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also there until it was closed in 2013. The other ministries are located in other office buildings in various places in Tórshavn, i.e. the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Affairs are located near the Hospital of the Faroes in Eirargarður, and the Ministry of Finance is located in Argir in a building called Albert Hall on the street Kvíggjartún. The parliament, the Løgting, which was originally located on Tinganes, was relocated to the town square, Vaglið, in 1856.
Tórshavn is known for its old town, Tinganes, crammed with wooden turf-roofed houses on a small peninsula. Nearby is Tórshavn Cathedral, rebuilt in the 19th century. Local boutiques dot the main shopping strip, Niels Finsens gøta. There are plenty of clubs and bars offering virtually any kind of atmosphere you might want, from lounge singers in romantic restaurants to rock bands to thumping DJ beats. To the north, the Nordic House cultural center offers theater, dance and music performances in a contemporary space.
==The Venue==
The host venue for the proceedings of this edition is Nordens Hus, or the Nordic House. The Nordic House (Faroese: Norðurlandahúsið) is a cultural institution in the Faroe Islands. Its aim is to support and promote Nordic and Faroese culture, locally and in the Nordic region. In concept, it is green with dragon-like steel struts to provide stability against the strain that the hurricane winds often place on the 2000 m2 turf-covered roof. Inside the building, there is a large lobby space that can house a number of simultaneous activities. There is a café and a recessed amphitheater. Exhibitions are organized here as well as cultural events. The public areas can be subdivided or combined with light, sound, and space-defining elements. All of the rooms are daylit except for the 800 m2 hall, which can be opened to the amphitheater and lobby, as the west end wall consists of movable elements.
