Utøya Island

Utøya Island is a small Norwegian island located in Lake Tyrifjorden, known for hosting the annual summer camp of the Norwegian Labour Party's youth organization. In 2011, it gained international attention when a mass shooting occurred there, resulting in loss of life. The island's natural beauty features forests, beaches, and a central cabin used for gatherings. Today, Utøya serves as a memorial site and symbolizes resilience, remembrance, and the importance of democracy and unity. It remains an active location for education and reflection on the events and themes of tolerance and peace.
