Funding to enhance the activity, well-being and social skills of children in vulnerable situations this summer<\/h4>\n

The Minister for Education and Children decided this spring to provide financial support to local authorities planning to expand leisure activities for children and young people in vulnerable situations this summer, due to the effects of the pandemic.\u202f Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur was allocated the equivalent of 11.7 million kr\u00f3na, and the sum will be used for twelve exciting projects in the summer of 2022.  <\/p>\n

Twelve new projects for the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur in summer 2022<\/h4>\n

Staff at Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur are launching twelve new activity projects in the summer of 2022, thanks to the government's recovery measures following the pandemic. The projects are diverse and designed to promote participation for 12-16-year-olds in social activities, socialising, entertainment, education and work. The City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's projects are as follows:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Support and additional assistance for children and young people in child protection<\/li>\n

  3. Summer opening at queer meet-ups <\/li>\n
  4. Subculture group activity in collaboration with M\u00fas\u00edk og m\u00f3tor<\/li>\n
  5. Summer opening hours at the youth clubs <\/li>\n
  6.  Increased availability of leisure activities for 12-year-old earth groups<\/li>\n
  7. Recruitment and support for 13-16 year-olds related to participation in a work school  <\/li>\n
  8. Special group work and follow-up at the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work School<\/li>\n

    The pandemic has had a great impact <\/h4>\n

    It is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the lives of most children and families in this country, but certain groups of children have been affected more than others. Providing increased support for children in vulnerable situations is a crucial part of the recovery from lockdown restrictions, thereby specifically addressing their circumstances. A decision was made to provide financial support to local authorities to enhance leisure activities for children in vulnerable situations. This is a continuation of previous measures, when a similar grant was provided to local authorities in the summers of 2020 and 2021. The total budget for the project in the summer of 2022 is 130 million kr\u00f3na, and the funding is distributed among municipalities based on available information from Statistics Iceland on the number of children aged 12 to 16 in each municipality in January 2022.<\/p>\n

    Additional projects aimed at engaging 12-16 year-olds through a variety of methods. <\/h4>\n

    As in 2020 and 2021, local authorities are encouraged to give particular consideration to additional projects aimed at engaging the 12 to 16-year-old age group through a variety of resources, with an emphasis on reaching those groups who are least likely to attend traditional freactivities. The 12-16 age group is likely to be the least active during the summer and is at an increased risk of, for example, risky behaviour and anxiety.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
