Tartu Youth Work Center Study Tour Seminar: Bringing Together Knowledge from Around the World

May 22, 2026

This spring, the staff of the Tartu Youth Work Center took part in two study trips: one to Cologne, Germany, and the other to Lisbon, Portugal.

On June 3, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., we’ll be gathering in the NOKK room on the second floor of the Anne Youth Center (Uus 56, Tartu) for an information session on this year’s study trips.

We invite all youth workers, activity leaders, and interested residents from Tartu, Tartu County, and beyond to attend our informational seminar, where we will share the knowledge and best practices we have gained with all of you.

In Cologne, we focused on the topic of inclusion in youth work. We gained an overview of various approaches and practices—we visited organizations that work with young people with special needs, LGBTQ youth, and girls and young women. We had the opportunity to see and learn about street-based youth work. We’ll start with the topic of the study trip to Germany at 3–4 p.m.

In Lisbon, the focus was on mobile youth work and NEETs. There, we gained an overview of the situation in the past and the current state of affairs, as well as effective practices at the government level, among NGOs, in companies engaging youth, and on the streets of socially disadvantaged neighborhoods. We will discuss Portugal from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Participation is free for everyone! Come join us for a little cultural afternoon.

Please register your attendance here so we can plan accordingly:

Youth workers from the Tartu Youth Work Center on a study trip to Portugal

From April 19–26, youth workers from the Tartu Youth Work Center participated in a study trip to Lisbon, Portugal, as part of the Erasmus+ program, to learn about local street youth work methods, non-formal education, and ways to support young people in the NEET situation. Study trips give youth workers the opportunity to step outside their usual work environment for a moment, learn about different practices, and bring the knowledge and effective solutions they gain back to their own community (Pavlakias and

“Let’s start a green-thumbed club!”

With the arrival of spring, there’s a growing desire to be outdoors and do something interesting—something that brings joy, excitement, and sparks curiosity. At the Lillekese Youth Center, we’ve found gardening to be the perfect activity for this. We started one Wednesday by weeding the flower bed in front of the Lille House gate. We divided up the tasks on the spot—one person weeds here, another

The Voice of Youth in the Action Plan

Actively involving young people in developing the youth center’s action plan is an important step in fostering their sense of participation and responsibility. Children aged 7–11 are able to successfully express their interests and ideas when provided with a safe and supportive environment. One effective way to do this is through a monthly brainstorming session, during which young people can freely suggest activities and topics. Young people’s opinions matter and have a real impact on the life of the youth center. In addition to the idea generator, it is important to gather ongoing feedback on daily activities to understand what resonates with young people and what needs to be changed. The youth worker’s role here is to guide: to help make ideas more concrete, then link them to an action plan, and involve partners as needed. Even with younger children, simple tools such as voting, drawing, or discussion circles can be used. In a young person’s life, everything changes very quickly: what was relevant two weeks ago
