After one year of work, we developed a professional, step-by-step guide on creating a strong and engaging visual identity for youth organisations. The guide was created by professional graphic designers actively involved in youth work, ensuring that the content is not only high-quality but also practical and easy to apply 🤓☝🏼

​The training course is designed to be highly interactive and 100% practical. Participants will work directly with the guide, test tools and methods, and develop concrete ideas to improve their organisation’s visibility and communication 🔥

A few weeks ago we hosted a small communication workshop at our office in 🗣️

Led by our team who just came back from a training course in Czechia 🇨🇿, the session was all about exploring how we actually communicate, both with words and without them.

We started with a simple icebreaker, got to know each other a bit, and then moved into some practical exercises (Dixit cards were involved 😜). It turned into a really nice space to notice how misunderstandings happen and what actually helps us understand each other better 💭

Thank you to everyone who joined 🤍

From 11–15 April, we participated in a training course in Brežice, Slovenia, together with around 25 participants, educators, psychologists and youth workers 🇸🇮

The training focused on Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and how to move from polarization to dialogue in youth work 🤝🏼

During the week, we explored:
💭 the role of empathy in communication
🤍 understanding feelings and needs behind reactions
👂🏼 active and empathetic listening
👀 the 4 steps of NVC (observations, feelings, needs, requests)
🥶 different ways of responding to conflict (fight, flight, freeze, curiosity) 

We also worked with practical tools and exercises, such as:
✉️ communication activities using objects to represent different types of messages
😡 the “anger thermometer” for emotional awareness
🗣️ group reflections and dialogue methods

The training provided space to reflect on communication patterns, both in professional and everyday contexts, hvala!

From now on we can officially be your sending organisation to go volunteering abroad!! 🌎

Let’s see what our first volunteer ever says after her first month in Poland 🇵🇱🥹:

“Cezsc!

My name is Eleri. One thing about me is that I’m a volunteer from Estonia, currently living in Poland and working in a democratic-style school. This is a completely new experience for me, as my own education was in a traditional school system and it’s also my first time working with kids.

The changes are big, but exciting. Moving out on my own for the first time, sharing accommodation with volunteers from different countries and backgrounds, and learning how to balance work, free time, and everyday life. There’s a lot of adapting happening right now, but I’m genuinely enjoying the process.
I’m excited to see what’s ahead, to learn the language, and to grow through all of this one day at a time!!!”
_____

“Mina olen Eleri. Üks põnev fakt minu kohta on see, et olen hetkel vabatahtlik demokraatlikus koolis Poolas. See on minu jaoks täiesti uus kogemus, kuna olen ise õppinud “tavalises” koolisüsteemis ning töötan lastega esimest korda.

Muutusi on palju, kuid olen väga elevil. Esimest korda iseseisvalt välja kolimine, majutuse jagamine teiste vabatahtlikega, kes tulevad hoopis teistsugusest kultuuriruumist kui mina, ning vajadus õppida, kuidas igapäevaelus tasakaalustada töö ja vaba aeg. Praegu olen alles kohanemisprotsessis, kuid naudin seda kõike meeletult.
Olen elevil, et näha, mis mind ees ootab, õppida keelt ja kasvada üks päev korraga!!!”
