Tartu Youth Work Centre's youth centres offer the opportunity for classes or youth groups to attend workshops held in the youth centres' premises or outdoor areas. The content of the workshops is related to young people's daily lives and learning, and the aim is to enrich school education with non-formal, playful activities. The workshops are primarily designed for participation with a class group, but groups of friends, organizations, etc., are also welcome.
For children ages 7–11
Cooperation is a key competence for every successful initiative today. In the team games workshop, we establish contact with all participants and learn to achieve results together by solving exciting tasks as a team. In the longer version of the workshop, we delve into the topic of trust within a team. We explore what roles team members need to take on, and finally, we challenge ourselves with a real test! The team games workshop is suitable for the target group aged 7-11, with a group size of 10-25 young people. The workshop can be organized on Thursdays and Fridays and lasts 45 minutes or 90 minutes.

In this educational workshop, we delve into the world of project writing. During the workshop, participants can dream, brainstorm, put project ideas on paper, conceptualize them, and finally present them to others. We introduce the various opportunities young people have to write projects and explain the process. Following these workshops, several projects have actually been implemented by young people. In the workshop, we primarily rely on the NOA (Youth Initiative) project and its application form.
The aim of the workshop is to support youth entrepreneurship, creativity, and ideas, providing an opportunity to put their ideas on paper and bring them to life.

In the empathy workshop, we’ll use drama exercises and improvisation to explore what it means to notice another person, understand their feelings, and see a situation from someone else’s perspective.
In this workshop, we’ll tackle various playful exercises in which we’ll observe our partner’s body language, emotions, and desires, and try to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes for a moment. Together, we’ll discuss whether it’s always possible to know what another person is feeling, how to verify our assumptions, and what we can do to make the other person feel seen and heard.
The goal of the workshop is to help children develop their ability to notice and listen to others, make sense of different emotions and perspectives, and foster caring communication through play and self-expression.
Group size: 10–25 people.

In this educational workshop, we will explore what a safer space means and why creating one is important, especially in the context of relationship and sex education.
During the workshop, young people will have the opportunity to reflect on and discuss various situations and consider how they can create a safer space for themselves or, if necessary, ask others to provide one.
We’ll talk about people’s different needs and ways of expressing themselves, as well as how to sense the atmosphere of a space and be mindful of quieter people. We’ll also practice articulating our own needs and working together to create a space where everyone can feel understood and heard.
