Engaging Youth in Estonia's Local Community: Elections, Festivals, and Environmental Initiatives

In Estonia, underage students can electronically voice their opinions during local elections; however, their votes are advisory. The Young Party hosts a vibrant North-Livonian festival every June, fostering connections between countries through fairs, performances, and workshops. Students participate in cleaning efforts like the "Teeme ära!" campaign, helping to beautify the country. Furthermore, the State Forest Management Centre encourages forest management education and tree planting initiatives. Despite challenges such as limited sports opportunities, local authorities are urged to enhance self-education and job offerings for youth.
