About Bústaðir

Bústaðir Youth Center is one of seven youth centers in the Laugardalur, Háaleiti, and Bústaðir neighborhoods operated by the Kringlumýri Recreation Center. The target group is children and adolescents in grades 5-10 at Breiðagerðisskóli, Fossvogsskóli, and Réttarholtsskóli.

We offer open activities and various clubs based on individual interests and needs. Events are held and projects are developed in cooperation with children, parents, schools, and other local partners. We emphasize education on various life skills topics, including anti-discrimination, substance abuse prevention, and positive self-image support. We also strive to make the youth center visible and open to those interested in learning about our activities. Successful club and development activities include the cooking club, sex education project at Réttarholtsskóli, and the Better Bústaðir project.

Einelti í skóla- og frístundastarfi

Einelti og ofbeldi getur haft varanleg áhrif á sálarlíf barna og unglinga. Það á ekki að viðgangast í skóla- og frístundastarfi. Allir starfsstaðir barna og unglinga eru með áætlun gegn einelti. Foreldrar sem fá vísbendingar eða upplýsingar um einelti ættu að taka það alvarlega og tilkynna til viðkomandi aðila. Starfsstaðir skóla- og frístundasviðs Reykjavíkurborgar starfa eftir gátlista vegna eineltis sem unninn var í víðtæku samráði fagaðila. 

Röskun á skóla- og frístundastarfi

Tilmæli eru um viðbrögð foreldra / forráðamanna barna í skólum og frístundastarfi. SHS hefur verið falið af sveitarfélögum á höfuðborgarsvæðinu að fylgjast með veðri og veðurspám og senda út tilkynningar ef á þarf að halda, eftir atvikum í samráði við lögreglu og fræðsluyfirvöld.

Youth centers sometimes join together for summer activities, so it's important to check social media for current locations. Location information for summer activities for children ages 10-12 is shared through advertisements and emails to parents.

Child prosperity

The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity liaison in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity liaison offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity liaison to request integrated services.

Information on the prosperity contacts for children at the Bústaðir youth center can be found on the websites of Breiðagerðisskóli, Fossvogsskóli, and Réttarholtsskóli.
