Enjoy Yourself - School Events

Enjoy yourself is a message from Neyðarlínan (the National Emergency Line) and an encouragement to event organisers to ensure that events are both safe and fun.

With the Enjoy Yourself campaign, Neyðarlínan wants to encourage the public to:

  • Be aware of their surroundings
  • Promote safety in communication
  • Respect boundaries
  • Tell someone if anyone needs help

By being aware of what is happening around us, we can all contribute to good fun where everyone feels safe from sexual violence and harassment.

Enjoy Yourself is a joint effort of the Neyðarlínan, the Ministry of Justice and the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police. Its goal is to remind the public of the role and services of the 112 Emergency Line and at the same time encourage unity against violence at events.

See information for event organisers.

If something happened

If you experienced violence or saw violence, it is important to let an adult know. At school events, there should be a staff member from the school. Security guards and staff on site can also help you. If there is any doubt, call 112.
