Tartu Youth Work Centre's radio show “Youth Window” is getting a makeover!

November 18, 2020

The "Youth Window" show, previously broadcast on Ring FM, is becoming a podcast. The podcast will still discuss Tartu youth centers and their activities, including projects written by young people and those aimed at them, city-wide events, international opportunities, and many other exciting topics concerning young people. Guests on the show will include both specialists working with young people and young people themselves!

Podcasts are an increasingly popular digital media format among both young and old. This new format is also useful and necessary in youth work. With podcasts, we could disseminate youth information to a large number of people, involve young people in creating podcasts, and offer them opportunities for self-development and expressing their opinions. If you have good ideas for topics to cover in podcasts, please let us know!

In connection with the renovation, we are also looking for a new host for the podcast. To apply for the host position, you need to send an introductory video and write us a list of the most important topics you would definitely like to cover in the podcasts. The video and list of topics should be sent to the following email: elisabeth.janes@raad.tartu.ee.

With the acquisition of new equipment, the Tartu Youth Work Centre will also offer a new opportunity for young people in Tartu starting in December. Specifically, young people in Tartu will have the opportunity to use podcast equipment for free. To use the equipment, please contact the person listed below.

The activity Podcast "Youth Window" is implemented with the support of the 2020 Varaait competition!

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.”

So what to do with all this free time—the joys and worries of summer break

Summer is in full swing. Temperatures are climbing steadily, and there’s more and more time to spend at the beach chasing the waves. Summer is a great time to really slow down, put your feet up, and take a few nice, slow breaths.

A Youth Worker's Story: The Best Training of My Life—How I Developed My Creativity in Norway

It might seem strange—how can we feel lonely when we’re connected to others almost all the time? Loneliness is a topic that’s being discussed more and more.

Philosophizing with Children and Youth

Many 21st-century skills are closely linked to thinking skills. These include, for example, creative and critical thinking, as well as a collaborative and caring mindset.

Philosophizing creates more space for discussion and helps participants become more skilled at articulating their opinions, listening to others, making decisions, and

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. The week began creatively—in a stencilling workshop, the young people
