Events for young people

The Moped Garage

The Moped Garage activity continues in Kuovi Youth Center, Kuovinkuja 4:

Tuesday 29 September, 4 pm–8 pm

The Moped Workshop is primarily intended for 15- to 17-year-olds who are interested in mopeds and want to learn how to maintain and repair them.

During the sessions, the young people are assisted by an instructor knowledgeable about mopeds and mechanics, as well as a youth counselor. The Moped Workshop is equipped with the necessary tools, but each moped owner must provide their own spare parts for repairs. Mopeds cannot be left in the space to wait for the next session, as the space is also used for other activities.

An important goal of Mopotalli is to promote safe traffic behavior. After all, modifying mopeds is not even allowed. When visiting Mopotalli, young people agree to follow the center’s rules.

Mopotalli is one of the city’s youth centers where we follow the principles of a safer space. Our center is substance-free, and energy drinks are not allowed either.

For further information and to register, please message Jessina on 040 180 9780.

Moped exhibition is canceled!

Youth Council Elections in October

Hey, 13- to 18-year-olds interested in making a difference! Apply to join the Youth Council!
The Rauma Youth Council has established itself through its work in Rauma since 1998. The Youth Council’s responsibilities include promoting young people’s quality of life, well-being, and opportunities for influence and participation, for example by representing them in city bodies. The Youth Council also organizes events for young people in Rauma. The Youth Council meets at least four times during the school year, and its members also meet in working groups to organize events.

The new Youth Council will begin its two-year term in January 2027. You can run for office between September 1 and 30 by contacting the Youth Council coordinator, Maija Salomaa, at 044 403 6327. Elections will be held in October, and two representatives—and any alternate representatives—will be elected from each school and educational institution.

Rauma Young People’s Social Media Club

You can use this form to apply to join the Youth Services’ Someklubi, where young people aged 13–17 get to plan and create content for Nuorten Rauma’s social media accounts. Someklubi usually meets once a month, and the dates of the meetings are agreed upon together with the club members. At least one youth worker is always present at the meetings, which last around two hours. The venue varies depending on the specific filming requirements.

The group size is a maximum of 10 young people. We will accept the first ten applicants who demonstrate the enthusiasm we are looking for. In addition, parental consent for filming is required to take part.

The deadline for applications to the Social Media Club is 30 September 2026.
