A look back at youth self-initiative

April 8, 2024

Tartu Hansa School's 7th-9th grade Candyland ball took place on March 8th in the school auditorium, organized by student council members from 4th to 9th grade!

The event's organizing team was divided into teams for the cafe, decorations, finding performers, and social media. Physical preparations, such as grocery shopping, making decorations, baking, and setting up the hall, began at the start of the ball week. Work within our teams went smoothly, and everything was ready by the start of the ball. The organizing team itself learned a lot during the project. Key takeaways included task distribution, adherence to the schedule, and budget planning.

DJ Tammodža helped keep the mood high at the ball, Sebastian Jasinski was the main performer, and social dances were taught by our school's teacher Marius Aave. The first royal couple of Hansa School was elected, and a cafe was also open. The ball was attended by 65 students and three teachers. Feedback from visitors was very good, and we also received ideas from them for organizing the next ball.

Opinion Piece by a Youth Worker: The Importance of Imagination in Youth Work

At the Lillekese Youth Center, we have always supported young people’s desire and interest in playing fantasy-world games in a physical environment. During our first year of operation, playing “café” was a very popular activity—the café had its own menu, meal times, and waitstaff. An entire room at the youth center was transformed into one big dining area. One of the young people’s biggest favorites this year has been playing “apocalypse.”

Summer is in full swing. Temperatures are climbing steadily, and there’s more and more time to spend at the beach chasing the waves.

Ukrainian Youth in Tartu: A Week That Left a Lasting Impression

In early June, from June 8–14, the Tartu Youth Work Center had the extraordinary honor and pleasure of hosting young people from Ukraine—young people whose lives have been completely turned upside down by the war. The camp was made possible thanks to financial support from the City of Tartu, and the Tartu Youth Work Center wholeheartedly took on the task of organizing the program.
