Last week, a collaboration agreement with Hljóma músíkmeðferð (music therapy) was renewed and signed at the elegant Hljóma campus on Austurgata 38. The formal collaboration between Hafnarfjarðarbær and Hljóma began as a pilot project a year ago, and the decision to continue for one more year has been made, in light of the program’s great success. Hljóma provides music therapy for children and young people who are facing diverse challenges and are given the opportunity to access and enjoy music on their own terms. The youngest student is two years old and the oldest one is 18.
Hljóma, under the direction of Inga Björk Ingadóttir, provides music therapy for children and young people with various challenges, such as disability, mental and emotional problems, trauma and social difficulties.
