“Võta vabalt!” 2026 volunteer fair – Kultuurikatel, Tallinn

The “Võta vabalt!” volunteer fair is back for the second year in a row!

Where will you invest your time? Time is your most valuable asset. The fair shows how many possibilities exist for devoting time to yourself, your community and your future: from new experiences and practical skills alongside school or university, to meeting people, a gap year or a chance to live abroad, and changing something for the better in your community or the world.

Organised by the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Agency, with more than 40 organisations, among them the Estonian National Youth Council, Tallinn Food Bank, Estonian Scout Association, Integration Foundation, Estonian Rescue Board, Tallinn City Museum and Tallinn Libraries, and many others.

Seminar programme (in Estonian; all panels in Estonian):

11:00 – fair opens.

12:00–12:45 – “Time is an investment: what do you get back from volunteering?” Four volunteers talk about what volunteering has brought them.

13:15–14:00 – “Volunteer abroad? Why not!” Three young people share experiences of long-term or short-term European Solidarity Corps volunteering abroad.

14:30–15:15 – “From idea to reality: youth initiatives and project opportunities”, with three speakers who turned their ideas into projects through the European Solidarity Corps or the Idea Blower programme.

The day is hosted by Aaron Thor Härm, discussions moderated by Killu Kolsar, music by säm, a food court, a Silent Disco and a vision-board workshop. Prizes will be drawn among the first hundred registrants.

Participation is free; please register with a free ticket on Fienta.
