About Frosti

The Frosti Youth Center is one of five youth centers located in Miðborg, Hlíðar, and Vesturbær, operated by Tjörnin Recreation Center. Frosti serves children and adolescents in grades 5-10 from Hagaskóli, Landakotsskóli, Grandaskóli, Melaskóli, and Vesturbæjarskóli.

Practical information

Bullying in school and recreational activities

Bullying and violence can have a lasting impact on the psyche of children and adolescents. It should not be accepted school and recreational activities. All workplaces for children and adolescents have an anti-bullying plan. Parents who receive indications or information about bullying should take it seriously and report it to the relevant parties. Workplaces of the Department of Education & Youth of Reykjavík City operate according to a bullying checklist developed in extensive consultation with professionals. 

Disruption to school and recreational activities

Officials have issued recommendations for parents and guardians of children in schools and recreational activities. Capital area municipalities have assigned SHS to monitor weather conditions and forecasts and send out alerts when needed, working with police and education authorities as appropriate.

Child prosperity

The new 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, young people, and guardians can reach the school prosperity liaison to request integrated services.

Information on the prosperity liaisons for children at the Frosti youth center can be found on the website of Hagaskóli
