How is Estonia treating you?
Have you already learned to love dark bread and bad skiing weather or are you making plans to leave this land as soon as possible and never look back?
No matter what your plans are, you are welcome to join the first ever Estonishing Evening!
The evening focuses on the matters of adapting to a new society and a new culture – as experienced by Estonians abroad and non-natives in Estonia alike.
“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”
― Shirley Chisholm
