On Saturday, 7 November, at 12:00, a Civic Academy meeting titled “Rights and Responsibilities in Everyday Life” will take place in Northern Tallinn.

This time, we will focus on the role of a citizen and how to cope with different everyday situations. During the meeting, participants will have the opportunity to practically work through situations that may arise when communicating with the Police and Border Guard Board, local government authorities or in working life.

This will be a scenario-based simulation game in which we will solve different cases using situation cards. This will allow participants to discuss not only what rights and responsibilities citizens have, but also how to apply this knowledge in real life.

The meeting will take place from 12:00 to 14:30.

The programme is being implemented by the Ida-Viru Youth Academy on behalf of the Integration Foundation.

What holds our state and society together? Is the Constitution primarily a document intended for lawyers, or is it a common agreement that affects our rights, freedoms and responsibilities every day?

This year marks 35 years since the restoration of Estonia’s independence. This is a good opportunity to look back at the formation of the Estonian state, but also to discuss the values that hold our society together today. What do freedom, democracy, human dignity and the rule of law mean to us? What role do national symbols and commemorative days play? Can people with different native languages and cultural backgrounds share a common understanding of Estonia’s fundamental values?

These topics will be discussed together with the participants by:
- Eduard Odinets – Chair of the Constitutional Committee of the Riigikogu (2022–2023) and Chair of the Legal Affairs Committee (2023–2024)
- Vladimir Arhipov – Member of the Riigikogu and Mayor of Maardu (1995–1996 / 2016–2024)

The meeting will take the form of an open discussion, giving participants an opportunity to ask questions, share their experiences and discuss what the Constitution of Estonia and our shared values actually mean in everyday life. The meeting will be held in Russian.

The meeting is intended for adults whose native language is not Estonian, who have been legally residing in Estonia for more than five years and would like to better understand their rights and opportunities.

🕛 Sunday, 18 October 2026, 12:00–14:30
📍 Maardu Leisure Centre, Keemikute 12b

The meeting will last approximately 2.5 hours and will include a coffee break. Participation is free of charge, but the number of places is limited and advance registration is required.

The programme is run by the Ida-Viru Youth Academy on behalf of the Integration Foundation. The event is funded within the framework of project No. 2021-2027.4.07.23-0006, “Activities Supporting the Teaching of Estonian and Civic Education”, supported by the European Social Fund+.
