Let us open the Cultural Diversity Year together
In 2024, we will be celebrating the cultural diversity of Estonia as the thematic year – the cultural diversity of Estonian communities and peoples. The Cultural Diversity Year, which follows the Be Active Year, begins with free events in all counties, culminating in handing over the thematic year title on 13 January 2024.
Congratulations, integration award winners!
As a result of an open competition, Maria Sakarias, leader of the Mondo Ukrainian Academy, won in the Bridgebuilder of the Year category; the editorial staff of Raadio 4 won in the Messenger of the Year category; Kirill Badikin, the leader of the largest Ukrainian refugee community in Estonia, won in the Spark of the Year category, while media expert Pavel Ivanov won in the Building Blocks of Integration category.
When Estonia becomes home
As with many other Ukrainians, Estonia became a new home for Olena Stoliarova as well. Olena also took part in the adaptation programme to adapt to the everyday life.
Integration in the media
Our staff share recommendations on which currently released news are worth reading, listening to, or watching carefully.
The adaptation programme is highly appreciated by the new compatriots
Commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, a report was compiled to evaluate the adaptation programme and network for people who have recently come to live in Estonia. The results confirm that the awareness of the support offered by the state is very good, but it can be further developed.
Estonians around the world
Nearly every fifth Estonian lives abroad – about 200,000 people in total. The Estonian diaspora abroad is an important part of our culture, introducing and sustaining Estonian culture in different parts of the world. Just as they maintain our cultural diversity over there, we must support them, too.
