In late October 2023, the picturesque city of Tartu, Estonia, played host to the German-Baltic Conference, organized by the German-Baltic Youth Exchange Network. The event spanned four days, from October 26th to 29th, and brought together nineteen youth organizations from five European countries. The conference provided a platform for participants to exchange ideas, gain valuable insights, and build connections. Two impactful workshops, "How to develop a catch-all image as a youth organization" and "Media usage as a youth organization," were the focal points of the event.
Workshop 1: "How to develop a catch-all image as a youth organization"
One of the key highlights of the German-Baltic Conference was the workshop titled "How to develop a catch-all image as a youth organization." This workshop was aimed at helping youth organizations create a strong and inclusive identity. Participants engaged in discussions, shared their experiences, and learned how to promote unity and diversity within their organizations.
Workshop 2: "Media usage as a youth organization"
In today's digital age, effective use of media is crucial for any organization, including youth groups. The second workshop, "Media usage as a youth organization," addressed this need. Participants delved into various aspects of media, including social media, public relations, and outreach strategies.
Outcome of the Conference
The German-Baltic Conference 2023 in Tartu was a resounding success, fostering collaboration, learning, and networking among youth organizations across Europe.
