FestiSkills Hunters Training Programme Successfully Completed!

In May 2025, we launched the FestiSkills Hunters training project, and in August 2025 participants from Finland and Estonia began an inspiring learning journey focused on festival and event management.

The programme officially started in August 2025, and the first face to face meeting took place from 22–25 August 2025 during the Saimaa Film Festival in Imatra, Finland. The project concluded with a successful final event held during the Hanseatic Days in Viljandi, Estonia, from 4–7 June 2026.

Over the past year, participants developed their skills in festival and event organization through online training sessions, mentoring, practical assignments, study visits, and by planning and implementing their own event projects. Along the way, they gained valuable experience, built international networks, and strengthened their confidence as future cultural and event professionals.

We sincerely hope that the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained during the programme will open new opportunities in employment, entrepreneurship, and community engagement.

Congratulations to all FestiSkills Hunters graduates! We wish you every success in your future endeavors

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, mentors, trainers, and partner organizations who made this journey possible. Your dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work have been truly inspiring, and we are proud of everything that has been achieved together.

This project was co-funded by the Central Baltic Programme and brought together people from both sides of the Gulf of Finland to learn, collaborate, and create lasting connections.

Thank you for being part of the FestiSkills Hunters community! We hope this is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of many exciting new projects, partnerships, and opportunities to come.
