It’s great when we can empower young people’s own initiatives. On 10–12 June we helped the young people, with advice and effort, to visit Ida-Viru County. We learned about oil shale and its mining, and saw with our own eyes the huge footprint that extracting this brown rock has left. Of course there was also some active fun and sightseeing. Everyone also got to experience the local cultural life and meet local young people. The young people wrote the project themselves for the Eduvik programme and secured funding to make this eventful experience happen. It was a great and pure joy to be able to help. Thank you to all participants and supporters.

On 7–8 June the youth project organised under the EDUVIK programme came to an end, where 16 young people came together to gain knowledge and skills about engines, motorcycles and motorcycle culture in general. We thank Rasmus and Sebastian, who wrote this idea up as a project and came to us with it. Thank you to all participants and supporters.

On Sunday the motorcycle event for Saaremaa youth, Rock ja Ratas, took place
The event was great in every way, and young people and slightly older ones had a lovely time together. There was a lot to see, do and hear. Young people from Ukraine were also involved, and they got to share the charm of this culture too. We thank Ösel MC, Rebel moto, Sandla motopoisse, Saare Moto, Mullutu Motosport, the Kuressaare Hospital youth clinic and the Red Cross for the cooperation
A big bow also to Helena, who fed everyone with her youth café. Thank you to all the young people and adults who took part. We also thank Ramirent, Kuressaare Kultuurivara, the Integration Foundation, MTÜ Võimalus, the Saaremaa Youth Work Centre and the volunteers who contributed to the success of this event.
