Breakfast and light snacks will be provided during the workshop. After the workshop, students will return to their school day.

What is the Youth Budget workshop?

In the Youth Budget, young people get to influence the City of Helsinki's youth services budget. The Youth Budget goes through four phases each year: in the spring: data collection, and in the fall: workshops, voting, and negotiations.

In the workshop, we will plan feasible activities for 2026 based on the responses from the data collection and ideas from young people.

In the fall, there will be a vote on the proposals in schools, and we will discuss with a group of young people (the negotiating body) which ideas will receive a share of the youth services' 150,000 euros. Anyone can join the negotiating body!

P.S. Sakarinmäen Primary School is aware of the workshop. One adult from the school will participate in the workshops, but it's a good idea to talk to teachers and guardians about signing up. If you don't attend Sakarinmäen Primary School but spend a lot of time in the Östersundom area and want to join the workshop, sign up, talk to your teacher and guardian, and get in touch with us so we can arrange the details. <3
