Tartu Big Meeting

During Tartu Big Meeting Estonian, Finnish, Swedish and Latvian students and teachers meet face-to-face, get to know each other, brainstorm to find common ideas to work with, explore new digital technologies in fun workshops, and eventually find teammates and form international student startups. The meeting is in Tartu 15-18 October.

Preparation for Tartu Big Meeting

Tartu Big Meeting brings together all DigiYouth students who started on the same year. We will help you to create your future teams through workshops, interesting and fun activities. In case you would like to prepare yourself for the meeting, you can think about issues and problems you are interested in solving. The exact team and way, how to do it, will come during the programme.
