SEIKLEJATE VENNASKOND

Seiklejate Vennaskond is a group of young active and optimistic people who are all interested in different areas of life. On national level we promote integration between different ethnic groups through adventure tourism. We also have participated in different youth exchanges and seminars concerning equality, media impact, innovation, fight against racism, xenophobia and HIV prevention. Our group gathers every month to take up new ideas and think how to put them into practice. We sincerely believe that the young people today can make a difference and we all work for this purpose. First activities of the organization date back to the year 2003 when group of active young people got together to organize a youth exchange. After that there have been many local regional activities concerning integration, adventure tourism and different interest specific activities. In recent years Seiklejate Vennaskond has become from non-formal youth group to a registered non-profit organization. Seiklejate Vennaskond has been active in the framework of Youth in Action (before 2007 in Youth): 2004 youth exchange: Environment and Nature: What Can Youth Do To Make World Better? was organized, in 2005: Integration: Nations and Ethnic Groups: Conflict or Cooperation? , 2008: From North to South, From East to West: All Unique... Yet So Similar! , in 2010 regional branch Saaremaa Seiklejad organized youth exchange: One World Our World! (2010 Estonian winner or Charlemagne youth prize competition) and in 2011 Hiiumaa branch Hiiumaa Seiklejad organized youth exchange: Catch the Opportunity! Seiklejate Vennaskond has carried out training courses: I share, I care! (2011) and Stop Labelling Yourself! (2012)). Members of Seiklejate Vennaskond have taken part in several projects in programme countries, neighbouring regions and also in Africa and Asia (Seiklejate Vennaskond has been partner for action 3.2). Members of Seiklejate Vennaskond meet regularly to put their ideas into practice and develop new projects and activities. All activities are organized by volunteers and voluntarily. There are members all over Estonia in the organization and there are even regional grouping like in Hiiumaa and Saaremaa. The main age group of members is from 16 to 35. Many members come from rural/remote areas, so Seiklejate Vennaskond has also young people with fewer opportunities involved in the organization.

Seiklejate Vennaskond is also a sending and coordinating organization for Estonian volunteers. For more information, contact us by e-mail! For latest news, check out: http://seiklejatevennaskond.blogspot.com/
