The creative competition platform Tandēms, in cooperation with the residency programme Vares.Space, is organising a series of five workshops and idea competitions where young industry professionals from Estonia and Latvia are invited to submit their visions.
Over the next five months, one idea competition and an associated educational workshop will be held each month. During the workshops, local young people will research the theme and problems of the challenge as well as participate in defining the task of the competition.
