Let's face the facts – A recording of the meeting
„As parents and carers, we share with teachers the desire for our child's best. To see them thrive, learn, make friends and become a healthy person,“ said Valdimar Víðisson, the mayor, when he opened the meeting. Let's face the facts in the series of meetings We are the village. The meeting was at the Town Cinema yesterday afternoon. Screen time and its effects were the topic of discussion. Nearly one hundred people attended the meeting, and several dozen watched the live stream on Facebook.
„Parental cooperation is crucial here,“ said Valdimar. Good advice on screen time was given. The Öldutúnsskóli choir sang. The parents' association showed a new video with good advice. Unnur Arna Jónsdóttir from Hugarfrelsi presented the situation and gave advice.
The event was fantastic. A recording can be watched for the next three days on the City of Hafnarfjörður's Facebook page. Those of you who couldn't make it yesterday haven't missed out, and can use the next few days to strengthen your commitment to healthy screen use.
