More senior staff in the town centre group, groups with sports clubs and at the playground will continue to work for a while longer. The mayor took advantage of the good weather yesterday and visited several groups to learn more about their projects and work this summer and to thank them for a job well done.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>An important link in the chain<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The work experience programme primarily focuses on environmental issues and thus plays a major part in cleaning the town and maintaining vegetation, streets and footpaths over the summer. Thus, young people aged 14-16 typically work within their own neighbourhoods, unless it involves work in other areas such as at a play scheme, in sports halls, in peer education, or in the town centre group.\u00a0 The staff of the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work School play an important role in creating the desired appearance of the town, ensuring it is clean and tidy and, not least, pleasant for residents and tourists who visit.\u00a0 This year, the staff managed to mow all the town's grass, but unfortunately did not get around to clearing all the beds in every neighbourhood, as the weather has been exceptionally good and the grass and growth have kept pace with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Not just entertainment, grass, rubbish and weeds<\/h4>\n<p>General groups at the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work School have this summer received various training alongside their work for their town. Thus, those who have turned 17 have received training on their employment rights and how to read payslips.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Peer educators have this summer been welcoming groups to&nbsp;<strong><em>peer education <\/em><\/strong>to the Youth Centre on Su\u00f0urgata. Each group can receive at least one session over the summer, and the topic of discussion will depend on what is of most concern to the students at the time. This summer, peer educators have covered topics such as relationships between the sexes, sick love, social media, masculinity, and more. Interesting discussions have arisen with all groups, as everyone brings their own experience, knowledge, and opinions to the table, which are all worth airing and discussing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All information about the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Summer School can be found  <a href=\"\/en\/ibuar\/atvinna\/the-working-school\/\" class=\"internal\">Here<\/a> <\/li>\n<li>The Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work Camp is at  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vinnuskolihfj\/\">Facebook<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Many thanks to the staff of the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Summer School for your contribution this summer!<br \/>Good luck at school!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starfsmenn \u00ed Vinnusk\u00f3la Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar, sem hafa veri\u00f0 vi\u00f0 st\u00f6rf fr\u00e1 \u00fev\u00ed \u00ed upphafi j\u00fan\u00ed, lj\u00faka st\u00f6rfum s\u00ednum n\u00fa \u00ed vikunni.
