Pajasto
Community workshop training
Workshop training at Pajasto workshops is intended for unemployed young people aged 18–28 in the Pirkanmaa region. The starting point for our activities is to offer young people meaningful experiences and things to do in the context of the tasks at the chosen workshop. During the season, we promote work readiness, look to the future, and work together to create milestones for progress in life and increased self-awareness. The season also includes wellness days at all workshops and opportunities to explore the cultural offerings of the city of Tampere. At Pajasto, young people are a valuable part of the work community, and our activities follow the principles of a safer space.
Pajasto offers two 15-week workshop training periods per year: The spring period runs from February to May, and applications open at the beginning of December. The autumn period runs from September to December, and applications open at the beginning of June.
Game workshop
The Game Workshop offers an inspiring and encouraging environment for young adults interested in the gaming industry who already have basic game development skills. Located in the Rantaperkiö Youth Center, the Game Workshop allows you to expand your skills in game design, digital graphics, and programming through team-based game projects. The goal for the season is to strengthen your skills in the gaming industry, improve your employment and study opportunities, and strengthen your portfolio with the products published during the workshop. We hope that applicants have team spirit and are willing to try different game development tasks.
Art workshop
The art workshop focuses on working with art-based methods and encourages participants to make their own choices. The art workshop provides space for individual artistic work on a weekly basis, and joint projects such as art exhibitions or theater performances are also carried out. In addition, workshops are held on topics such as writing, visual arts, and expressive power. The Art Workshop program also includes content that promotes well-being.
Craft workshop
The craft workshop has excellent facilities and material supplies. Applicants are expected to be enthusiastic about creative work and craft skills. The aim of the craft workshop is to have fun while learning about a wide range of craft techniques. Together, we will explore activities ranging from gardening to glass mosaics and tie-dyeing. Street art skills are considered an advantage, but this is not a basic craft class!
AV workshop
The AV workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to sound, lighting, and video technology in the working environment offered by the Monitoimitalo 13 youth cultural center. During the season, video projects and several livestreams will be carried out in collaboration with various partners, and participants will learn how to use the necessary technology. Applicants are expected to be interested in the field and willing to work in changing work situations.
Music and media workshop
The music and media workshop focuses on music from a variety of perspectives. During the season, participants compose, jam, record music, and shoot and edit media content to support the music. Applicants should have an interest in music, enthusiasm, and a willingness to try event work and various tasks.
Individual coaching
The purpose of individual coaching is to support young people and job coaching. During the workshop period, confidential discussions are held and the young person's life situation is examined comprehensively. Life management, improving functional capacity, and planning for the future are all part of individual coaching. Together, we can consider career choices and career options. You will receive support in dealing with Kela and TE -services and in making study plans, among other things.
