On the final day of the Valga–Valka meeting, the teams presented their international event concepts to a jury composed of both local and Latvian representatives. The jury also included a representative from Interreg as well as a representative of our Extended programme. At the end of the day, a reflection session was held and a joint summary of the meeting was conducted.
The three-day hackathon brings together participants from the Tartu 2024 Extended and the Liepāja 2027 Youth Programme to create genuinely cross-border cultural events. The mission takes place symbolically in the twin town of Valga–Valka.
This year, the Extended programme is organised in cooperation with Latvia. Through the Interreg Estonia–Latvia Youth Connect project, young people gain practical experience in leading international teams and developing cross-border cultural formats.
