About Fókus

Fókus is a rainbow-certified youth center celebrating diversity. It offers clubs and workshops like Sportó (sports), Bellanet (building girls' confidence), D&D club (role playing club) and Art Workshop club. We also organize trips for adolescents, with the ski trip being the largest. There's also an 8th grade trip each fall at the beginning of the school year. We also host sleepovers at the center, which are always exciting.

Fókus youth center is part of Brúin Recreation Center. The target group is children and adolescents in grades 5-10 at Ingunnarskóli.

Hagnýtar upplýsingar

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.

Summer hours

Mondays: 7:30pm to 10:30pm

Wednesdays: 7:30pm to 10:30pm

Fridays: 7:30-10:30pm - joint

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 Fókus youth center can be found on the website of Ingunnarskóli.
