Find YOUR Estonia: Global Estonian portal connects Estonians around the world

The Global Estonian portal is a gateway to information about Estonians around the world. It helps people stay connected with Estonia, find opportunities to study there and strengthen their Estonian identity wherever they live.

The website brings together up-to-date information about Estonia, the Estonian language and culture, communities, study opportunities in Estonia, grants, events and returning to Estonia. The portal helps maintain connections with nearly 200,000 people of Estonian descent living abroad.

“Every Estonian matters,” says Marti Mätas, the Foreign Ministry’s Ambassador at Large for the Diaspora. “The strength of Estonians lies in our people and communities around the world. Wherever they live, they are part of the global Estonian story. The Global Estonian portal helps connect people with one another and with Estonia, while creating new opportunities for cooperation, learning and sharing experiences.”

He says it is particularly important to reach younger generations and bring the opportunities Estonia offers closer to them. The Global Estonian website provides information for young people about studying in Estonia, internships, camps and opportunities to meet their Estonian peers. One of the latest resources is ‘Find YOUR Estonia – a guide for young people’, which helps young people of Estonian descent discover how they can take part in youth camps, study in Estonia, undertake an internship here and strengthen their ties with the country.

The portal also features a section dedicated to learning Estonian, bringing together information about language courses, learning materials and other opportunities to learn the language for children, young people and adults. It also shares information about grants, scholarships and competitions and highlights the activities of Estonian communities around the world.

The website also supports those wishing to move to Estonia. In recent years, more than 6,000 people of Estonian descent have returned to Estonia from abroad each year. The ‘Moving to Estonia’ section provides information about documents, services, education, employment and organising everyday life in Estonia. Visitors can also take part in meetings where people share their experiences and learn from those who have already returned.

The portal’s reach is further extended through its social media channels, Facebook LINK? and Instagram LINK?. The Instagram account was launched this summer and helps the portal reach a younger audience in particular.

“Global Estonian is much more than just a website. It is a meeting place and information hub that helps Estonians stay connected with their language, culture and roots, wherever they live,” says Kaire Cocker, Head of Diaspora Services at the Integration Foundation.

The Global Estonian information portal is managed by the Integration Foundation. Its content is created in cooperation between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, other Estonian government agencies and Estonian communities around the world. The portal is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture.

Find your Estonia: www.globalestonian.com

The campaign promoting the portal will run for three weeks from 4 November 2026.

International integration conference focuses on social cohesion in a fragmented world

On 11 November, Tallinn will host the international integration conference ‘Fragmented World, One Cherished Home’, which will bring together researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners from Estonia and abroad. The conference organised by the Integration Foundation will discuss how to strengthen social cohesion at a time when geopolitical tensions and deepening polarisation are putting people’s trust and sense of belonging to the test. The conference will be broadcast live in Estonian, English, and Russian.

According to Marianna Makarova, programme director of the integration conference, the focus of the conference is on how to hold society together at a time when differing views and tensions are putting cohesion to the test. ‘The strength of a society depends on whether people feel they are part of it and trust one another. In times of tension, it is particularly important to understand what creates trust and what breaks it. At the conference, we will bring together experiences from different countries and research results to discuss how to strengthen cohesion in people’s everyday lives – in communities, in the workplace, and in a common information space,’ she said.

The conference will be opened by Heidy Purga, Minister of Culture, and Dmitri Moskovtsev, Director of the Integration Foundation, and the conference day will be moderated by Anna Karolin.

Speakers include Dietlind Stolle, professor of political science at McGill University in Canada, who will discuss the resilience of democracy and what happens when democratic principles conflict with security, priorities of political parties, or the protection of identity. Silvia Kakembo, deputy CEO of the Swedish think tank Arenagruppen and co-founder of Integrationsbyrån, explains how the experiences of 200 migrants were turned into specific proposals to improve integration policy.

Kristīne Kļukoviča, Deputy Director of the Latvian Society Integration Foundation, will present the social cohesion radar of the Latvian society, while Kristjan Kaldur, expert at the Institute of Baltic Studies, will present the results of the interim evaluation of the Estonian adaptation programme.

Throughout the day, interactions between communities, the media, and the information space will also be discussed – how they can strengthen trust between and when they may deepen isolation and prejudice.

As part of the conference, a debate between Estonia’s parliamentary parties will take place, entitled ‘Votes at the expense of social cohesion?’, moderated by Indrek Treufeldt journalist and lecturer at Tallinn University. The debate will address the responsibility of politicians in creating conflicts between social groups, and the impact of pointed messages on social cohesion. Through the topics of migration, security, and citizenship, an answer is sought to the question of where the line lies between defending one’s own views and disparaging those of others, and how to keep political debate fair while engaging with different groups of voters.

The conference will take place on 11 November at the Hilton Park Hotel Tallinn. Registration for attendance in person has now closed. The conference can be followed via a live webcast in Estonian, English, and Russian.
