On December 15, a joint exhibition by youth and youth workers will open at Jakobi Gallery
The youth and youth workers of Anne Youth Centre will open their joint exhibition titled "Around Christmas in a Painting" at the Jakobi Gallery of Tartu Children's Art School (Jakobi 52) on Monday, December 15, at 3 PM. Although the title refers to Christmas, the exhibition does not focus on the Christmas theme. The exhibition centers on a playful insight into oneself and the perception of beauty, and what young people and youth workers consider beautiful and how they convey this beauty in their works […]
Margit Kink on a different training experience: Finding balance in Portugal
I want to share a method with you that is exciting and useful, suitable for both young people and youth workers for self-reflection
.
I learned this at the international training 'Mindful Bridges', which took place from September 7th to 13th in Portugal, and it seemed like a very valuable method for self-discovery.
Christmas anticipation in the Lillekese youth room
Even though December has just begun, Lilleke's youth room is already prepared for Christmas early! To be completely honest, the room has been sparkling since the end of November, although a couple of young people thought it was too early to turn on the lights and bring in the Christmas trees. Yes, we even have two Christmas trees! At Lilleke, we aimed to enjoy this festive sight for at least four weeks. Even the grey and damp weather of November and December cannot extinguish […]
Young people discovered Narva
As part of Youth Work Week, Narva was visited together with young people. Our youth worker Liisi Soo recalls this trip. On November 11, we organized a trip for young people to Narva, where we visited the Narva Youth Centre, briefly explored the city, and participated in an exciting excursion at the Kreenholm Manufactory. We hopped on the bus at 9:30 AM, and our journey to Narva began! Upon arriving in Narva, we walked along the river and observed the fortresses on both riverbanks. Then […]
5 thoughts on event organization with young people
Organizing a youth event is more than just setting a date and planning activities. Participating in organizing offers young people the opportunity to develop, communicate, discover their strengths, and feel that their opinion is valued. I believe that the success of an event cannot be measured solely by the number of participants or a diverse program, but by whether young people felt included and heard. Below, I have outlined [...]

@Cassuspainandtrips – my exchange year in Spain
1. What does an exchange year mean? An exchange year is a time when you can go to another country to live and study. I am in Spain and live with a host family here. I go to school and live a completely new life in another country. 2. What are the first emotions and experiences like? The first week I was at a camp where we met people and received preliminary training on what to do if something happened and […]
No one can be a community alone. Therefore, no one is alone in the community*
Autumn is here, leaves are changing color, and the air is crisp, but at Ilmatsalu Youth Center, it's warm and increasingly lively. Our team dreams that this house will become an even more open and versatile place where not only young people but all residents of Ilmatsalu and its surroundings feel welcome. Our house now also has a position called community specialist and […].
The Youth Summer Camp has concluded!
The Youth Summer Camp has concluded once again, and it's time to summarize. It was once again a vibrant Youth Summer Camp, which can be summed up in the words of one camper: “This was my first Youth Summer Camp, and it was so cool. I really enjoyed it!” As camp organizers, our greatest wish is to be able to offer their first camp and work experience to as many young people without prior camp experience as possible each year. When planning the 2025 […]
Lilleke's artworks
Every autumn, we incorporate nature and its beauty into the activities of the youth center. The end of September and beginning of October is a wonderful time to go outside, walk around the city, and enjoy nature. One of the annual activities at the Lillekese youth center is leaf printing. This means that we start by going outside with the young people and looking for fallen leaves. Each young person chooses a few leaves they like and collects […]
