The Marketing Office of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's Encouragement Awards were presented for the third time at a ceremony held in Hafnarborg on 31 January. In its work, the Marketing Office has focused on recognising and supporting the good things being done in the town. Part of this is the presentation of the MsH Encouragement Awards and MsH Certificates of Recognition. This year, the restaurant KRYDD received the Marketing Office of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's Encouragement Award for having, through its activities and events, made Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur a better community. KRYDD is a new and elegant restaurant which opened in Hafnarborg last May.<\/p>\n
The owners of the place are three couples from Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur: Hilmar \u00de\u00f3r Har\u00f0arson and Hulda Hei\u00f0r\u00fan \u00d3lad\u00f3ttir, Sign\u00fd Eir\u00edksd\u00f3ttir and J\u00f3n Tryggvason, and Geir\u00fer\u00fa\u00f0ur Guttormsd\u00f3ttir and Hafsteinn Hafsteinsson. It's fair to say that KRYDD burst onto the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur scene. So much so that the time needed to adapt operations and get gradually up and running was non-existent, as there has been a huge demand ever since opening. The reasons for the selection included, among others:<\/p>\n
A great weightlifting bar for the centre of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur! <\/em>You no longer have to go into town for fun. <\/em>The owners place great emphasis on guests having a pleasant evening in beautiful surroundings, as well as eating good food. <\/em><\/p>\n In addition to the Marketing Institute's Incentive Awards, the Marketing Institute presented three awards.<\/strong><\/p>\n TRU Flight Training Iceland<\/strong> MsH believes there is significant potential for further growth for the company, which opens up further opportunities for other aviation-related activities in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. TRU Flight Training Iceland is a subsidiary of Icelandair and operates flight simulators at the Icelandair training centre at Flugvellir, Vellir. TRU began operations in 2014 and its operations have grown rapidly; now, just over four years later, there are three flight simulators. There are 6 employees. Icelandair is the largest user, but foreign airlines also purchase training for their pilots at the simulator. Last year, around 3,000 training sessions took place, 700 of which were for foreign airlines, with pilots coming specifically to the country to use this service. Training takes place for around 18 hours a day, on average, 360 days a year. This specialised activity therefore appeals equally to both the domestic and international markets, and clearly demonstrates the diverse range of activities that can be offered at V\u00f6llunum, situated midway (in minutes) between Keflavik International Airport and Reykjavik city centre, but who goes there when you have Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/p>\n Karel Ingvar Karelsson<\/strong>, former captain, <\/strong>for 60 years of selfless work for Seamen's Day in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, thereby making our town even better and more enjoyable.\u00a0 Karel first took part in the day in 1958 as a teenager in a rowing crew, but it wasn't long before he was preparing the celebrations. With dedication and respect for Seamen's Day, Karel has ensured that the traditions which characterise the day are upheld. He has emphasised the importance of promoting the seafaring profession, remembering those who have lost their lives at sea, and honouring elderly seafarers. He has also organised a photography exhibition of pictures of all those who have been honoured on Seafarers' Day in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur since its inception.<\/p>\n N\u00da \u2013 Forward-looking education at primary school level <\/strong>for thinking well outside the box in its operations and for taking uncharted and exciting paths in its approach to teaching at primary school level. N\u00da is an independent primary school with a focus on sports and flipped learning, for pupils in Years 8-10. The school operates in accordance with current laws and regulations on primary education and the National Curriculum for Primary Schools. N\u00da began its operations in August 2016 with 35 pupils, but today there are 60, most of whom are from Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, although there are also pupils from other municipalities. The school tailors learning to the individual, not the individual to the learning. Emphasis is placed on building independence and self-confidence in learning. The aim is to prepare young people for modern society with the tools considered essential in today's job market. Great emphasis is placed on personal development, goal-setting and taking responsibility for one's own life. Goal-setting is taught and they receive coaching from their teachers. The distinctive features of N\u00da include:<\/p>\n The learning space is also unique in that students do not always have to sit at a desk all day; they are allowed to move, stand or use yoga mats. The operation is now in the hands of the company Frams\u00fdn menntun ehf.<\/p>\n Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur warmly congratulates the recipients of awards and recognition!<\/p>\n Photo: Olga Bj\u00f6rt \u00de\u00f3r\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir for the Fjar\u00f0arp\u00f3sturinn<\/sup><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hvatningarver\u00f0laun Marka\u00f0sstofu Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar voru veitt \u00ed \u00feri\u00f0ja sinn vi\u00f0 h\u00e1t\u00ed\u00f0lega ath\u00f6fn sem haldin var \u00ed Hafnarborg \u00feann 31. jan\u00faar sl.
