Mamyfu - Making my future

We have our own story

— mieeev

“We have our own story, and we go so far…" (phrase from the lyrics). Music workshops is one of ways to express what is important for youth.

Each of the young people in the clip has their own story and the reason why these stories are rised. At the beginning of the year, children and young people from the communication program “DARI” participated in rap workshops, learning new skills to express themselves.

The beginning was not easy, because the topic was not clear. For what about to write a song? Where to get ideas? How to find courage we speak out loud about what we often express to ourselves only in our thoughts? This video is proof that you don’t have to be afraid to find new ways to improve yourself, because there are a lot of people around who are ready to support each other: the main thing is to start looking.

Come with your own idea

Idea of youth participation has led to workshops “Come with your own idea”, where young people have the opportunity to write projects and implement various ideas both individually and in groups. Young people who are involved in the such kind of workshop admitted that workshops have given them opportunity to learn, gain new experiences and make friends. Participating in Making my future project has awoke the want to create new projects for some of the participants.

Hybrid challenges and joys

Making my future project´s last intensive week was held 27.7.-2.8.2021 as a hybrid version. Already a year ago we had made a risk evaluation and prepared a plan B (or actually plan Z already at this point!) as a hybrid event. Due to corona restrictions, the Finns were not able to travel abroad.  So, the Estonian and Latvian participants gathered in Kallaste, Estonia, while the Finns travelled from Tampere to the archipelago coast of Finland. The Finnish group stayed at Kaarina on a beautiful farm and country hotel called Lyhdyn Tila.
