Call for young volunteers: Join the Tartu 2024 European Solidarity Corps Teams Project!
Tartu 2024 is the main event in Estonia and the largest regional cooperation project between Tartu and Southern Estonia.
We bring over 1000 events to individuals of all ages. The year-long programme in Tartu and Southern Estonia presents the story of the Arts of Survival – the knowledge, skills, and values that will help us lead a good life in the future. As a community, we want to share this information while also learning from others. Inspired by culture, we build a better tomorrow.
European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024 is versatile both in its nature and in its programme. On the one hand, it is a great cultural celebration that draws visitors from Estonia and abroad, and on the other, it is an opportunity to include as many people as possible in laying the groundwork for long-term change in Tartu and Southern Estonia.

Tartu 2024 invites dedicated young volunteers from our fellow ECoCs to collaborate with our local youth in Tartu on a Youth Festival named “KUS?” (in translation “Where?”).
Our Youth Festival’s main idea is: ,,Where is my heart?”. With our festival, we intend to put our focus on European youth (ages 16-26) and their struggles with growing up. Like is it my place to be in front of the young people sitting on the school bench or to rock on the stage? Is my role to be the one who defends the country diplomatically or am I running a business? The festival plans to answer these questions.
Our festival’s idea is to do things differently. We want to bring people to abnormal places and give them unusual experiences. In our programme, we will have a party in an old hospital, a picnic with music and poetry in the park, a movie night at a planetarium, a morning brunch in Tartu’s old town, an arthouse, a traditional house party with special drinks and so much more.
The festival is organized by the youth of Tartu 2024 Extended.
