Færder

Færder, a municipality in the Norwegian county of Vestfold, joined ICORN in August 2022.

Situated on the southern end of the Oslo fjord, Færder benefits from both closeness to Norway’s capital and the country’s striking nature, encapsulated by the Færder National Park.

Uniquely the Tønsberg and Færder Library is the only shared municipal library of its kind in Norway. This means that the ICORN residents in Tønsberg and Færder share an office in the library.

In the summer of 2024, Færder welcomed Syrian poet, writer, and journalist Hussein Al-Dahir as the municipality's first ICORN resident.
