In March, we are launching new programmes introducing Estonian culture and cultural space in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu

Integration Foundation invites adult residents of Estonia from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to participate in programmes starting in March and taking place in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu. The programmes offer an opportunity to develop Estonian language skills through real-life communication and to gain a deeper understanding of Estonian culture and traditions.

The programme includes:

  • workshops and discussions (a total of 20 academic hours), where we talk about life and culture in Estonia;
  • joint study visits (a total of five visits), during which we will visit museums, exhibitions and take part in guided tours.

Where and when?

Meetings and study visits take place on weekday evenings or at weekends, so you can participate alongside work or studies.

In Harju County:
We will visit Tallinna Botaanikaaed, Eesti Vabaõhumuuseum, Energia Avastuskeskus and Viikingite küla.

In Tartu:
We will explore Eesti Rahva Muuseum, Palamuse Muuseum, TYPA trüki- ja paberikunstikeskus and Eesti Spordi- ja Olümpiamuuseum.

In Pärnu:
We will get to know the history and stories of the city at Pärnu Muuseum, Koidula Muuseum and Punane Torn.

The programmes are delivered by the partners of Integratsiooni Sihtasutus - Targa Eesti Instituut OÜ and ImmiSchool – Uusimmigrantide Koolituskeskus OÜ.

The activities have been co-financed by the Swiss Confederation to reduce economic and social disparities in the European Union. The Swiss-Estonian cooperation programme supports activities that help people of different nationalities and linguistic backgrounds to better integrate into Estonian society. The programme aims to foster a feeling of unity and provide opportunities for participating in cultural and educational activities. Support is provided, for example, for learning Estonian, getting to know Estonian culture, developing digital services and volunteering, and events that bring together people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The activities of the programme help participants to better understand life in Estonia and find their place in society. The programme is implemented by the Ministry of Culture in cooperation with the Integration Foundation and other partners.
