The implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur involves the municipality's commitment to use the convention as a guiding principle in its work, and for the five core principles to run like a thread through its administration and activities. Child-friendly local authorities promote the active participation of children in matters that concern them, and they consult with children and young people in a targeted manner to improve their services.\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-button-94716-670 bde-button\">\n    \n                        \n                        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"button-atom button-atom--custom bde-button__button\"  >\n    \n        <span class=\"button-atom__text\">Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur - Child-friendly community<\/span>\n\n                            \n        \n            <\/button>\n    \n\n\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-button-94716-671 bde-button\">\n    \n                        \n                        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"button-atom button-atom--custom bde-button__button\"  >\n    \n        <span class=\"button-atom__text\">Child-friendly municipality<\/span>\n\n                            \n        \n            <\/button>\n    \n\n\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"bde-advancedslide-94716-672 bde-advancedslide swiper-slide\"><div class=\"advanced-slider__slide\">\r\n  <h2 class=\"bde-heading-94716-673 bde-heading heading-color\">\nHafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's comprehensive strategy for 2035\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-text-94716-674 bde-text\">\nHafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's overall strategy is built around nine main objectives. Each of them is intended to promote long-term improvements and positive changes, so that the strategy's vision becomes a reality. Education for all is one of the objectives; well-being of residents, physical activity and health, and meaningful participation are examples of others.  The main objectives are linked to the United Nations' Global Goals and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which, along with the main objectives, form the basis for selecting priorities in specific areas for a period of two to three years. The policy, among other things, emphasises that the standards of the Convention on the Rights of the Child are used in services for children and young people.\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-button-94716-675 bde-button\">\n    \n                        \n                        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"button-atom button-atom--custom bde-button__button\"  >\n    \n        <span class=\"button-atom__text\">Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's comprehensive strategy for 2035<\/span>\n\n                            \n        \n            <\/button>\n    \n\n\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n      \n            <div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-code-block-94716-661 bde-code-block\">\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-column-94716-335 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-div-94716-369 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-code-block-94716-678 bde-code-block\">\n\n  <div id=\"lottie-side-anim\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MenntastefnaHafnarfjar\u00f0ar \u00dej\u00f3nusta Sk\u00f3lar og b\u00f6rn \u00cd sk\u00f3la- og fr\u00edstundastarfi er l\u00f6g\u00f0 \u00e1hersla \u00e1 vell\u00ed\u00f0an, f\u00e9lagslegt \u00f6ryggi og sj\u00e1lfst\u00e6\u00f0i.
