The main subject of the first local meeting in Karula parish was the establishing of the Youth Council. It was decided that the first activities will be collective preparing of the rooms for the coming Youth Center. And after that, in October, 2014, the Youth Council will be established. Another topic was Karula local community and the youth relationship with it, part of youngsters in the organizing of the local events, and local summer jobs for youngsters. The meeting was very impressive – there were as many local decision makers, including rural leader Rain Ruusa, as there were youngsters.
The first local meeting of Tõlliste parish took place in Tsirguliina community center. Many people came to meet with the youngsters: the head of the Tõlliste parish Madis Gross, chairman of the council Arne Nõmmik and members of the council Andres Illak and Katre Kikkas (who is the local manager of this project, too).
General problems of the parish were discussed. It was admitted that such a meeting should be held more frequently, even once in three months, just to acknowledge the problems to try to find a solutions for them together. It was decided that there is no need for a Youth Council. Any young person come up to the head of the council or any member of it and freely talk about his or hers problem. Youth Council could just lead to unnecessary bureaucracy. The two big problems of the municipality are catering in school and garbage, which people carelessly throw off. First problem was promised to be handled by the council and the second - by the youth. Local meeting of Tõlliste parish was very successful. Participants got better acquainted with each other and at the same time found solutions for a number of concerns that both parties have had already for a long time. It was nice, that the participants were of different age and, also, there were young participants, who do not permanently live in Tõlliste parish any more. Valka local meeting was split in two parts and was a part of a bigger event, organized by Valka Youth Council and Valka Gymnasium. The decision to hold the local meeting this way was made, because it guaranteed that the participants of the activity were not only youngsters of Valka, but from the other parishes of the municipality, also, where the contact with municipality is significantly lower than in the town itself. The first part of the event took place in Valka Youth Center, where the youngsters had to imagine the center - Lugaži Square the way they want it to be. The participants were given a picture of the square and “tools” to present their creativity on the picture. A short presentation of the projects took place, also. The other part of the meeting took place in Valka Gymnasium, where the head of Valka Municipality – Vents Armands Krauklis visited the participants of the event. He talked about the upcoming events in the municipality and the way how youth can take part in those events. He talked about everyones personal input in the municipality. The members of the Valka Youth Council talked about the structure and functions of the municipality.
