The youth workers of Lääne-Harju Huvikeskus have been facing different challenges in their work. One of the challenges is to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere in the youth rooms where there are children of various cultural, linguistic and socio-economic backgrounds. The area where the organisation operates was formerly home to Soviet military bases and therefore hosts a substantial Russian-speaking population. Besides, children of Russian and Estonian backgrounds, we have welcome hundreds of Ukrainian refugees in the area. This has created tensions for which the youth workers and the youth themselves. Our youth workers have not been trained to provide a safe space for expressing emotions and fears without being judged. Children are very sensitive and easily pick up tensions from the people around them. This can interfere with their ability to interact with other people. Inclusion and cultural diversity are our core values but we lacked expertise to handle such delicate and complicated situations. The other challenge that we have been facing is how to reach young people and children with different backgrounds as the municipality has only one town and thus a number of people reside in isolated remote villages. In some villages the number of children visiting the youth rooms is very low (3-7 per day). We also have villages where there is no youth room (Lehola, Keila-Joa, Harju-Risti, etc). There is a need for mobile youth work which our team wanted like to learn though job shadowing small rural youth rooms and mobile youth room/bus in the Lidköping area. The third challenge is connected to the transition to Estonian language-education which the Estonian government approved in 2022. In some of our youth rooms, such as Paldiski (the biggest -70-100 children per day) and Rummu the main communication language is Russian as majority of the children have Russian or Ukrainian background. Lääne-Harju Huvikeskus has been motivated to find ways to follow formal education and start the transition to Estonian language. However, there is lack of expertise on efficient methods of inclusion as well as non-formal teaching tools. The project idea was a 3-day study visit to Lidköping kommun (municipal youth centre in Lidköping). Ung i Lidköping has received thousands of refugees from Syria and other countries in the last 20 years. Thus they have long-lasting experience working with youngsters of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Also their geographical profile is similar - rural area with small and isolated villages. Their working hours and general organisation is very different and innovative. They work closely with schools, do active mobile youth work and employ various non-formal methods which have helped the immigrants learn Swedish, feel members of the community. They also have innovative tools how to involve young people in all stages of youth work and support youth initiatives. The objectives of the project and study visit were : ● To exchange best practices and equip the youth workers with tools, techniques and alternative practices for working with disadvantaged children (including refugees) for their personal development and social inclusion; ● To explore models of mobile youth work in remote villages through job shadowing. ● To empower youth workers to adopt and create their own practices based on personal strengths, talents and preferences in the field of professional development; ● To practice methods to stimulate the personal development of youth workers, i.e. conscious communication, compassion, support, unity, respect, empathy, inclusion and acceptance; ●To create opportunities for international cooperation and partnership building.
