The President and Members of The Joint Baltic Committee of NSW request the pleasure of your company at the Commemoration Concert to be held on the 80th Anniversary of the first mass deportations of the Baltic people in June 1941.

Monday, 14th June 2021 at 2pm

Latvian Centre
32 Parnell Street, Strathfield
NSW 2135

Guest speakers

Honorary Consuls of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

Following the concert you are invited to stay for refreshments

Regaining their independence in August 1991, the Baltic countries are now members of the UN, the NATO alliance and the European Union. 2021 marks over 100 years since the declarations of independence from Russia by the three Baltic States in 1918.

As well as commemorating the deportations, the occasion serves to remind us all that evil regimes still exist. Indeed, Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 poses grave concerns that Russia may seek to re-occupy the Baltic States on the pretext of “protecting” the Russian-speaking populations in the respective regions.

The Virtual Days will take place via Zoom in approximately 2.5-hour sessions on two consecutive Saturdays, June 5 and 12, starting at 17.00 Estonian time. The main topics this year are moving and returning to Estonia and Estonian language learning in the world.The greetings and short panels of the event are in Estonian with English translations with discussions held in both Estonian and English.

Registration: https://forms.gle/D9VoBamZzbzjdGri8

During the virtual days, you can meet young Estonians around the world, discuss being Estonian across borders and contribute to discussions that are important in the future!

This session is part of the EACCI new peer-to-peer series that focuses on sharing the expertise of their members

Since 2015, the University of Adelaide and the Tallinn University of Technology have collaborated in mutual study tours in cyber security. In this talk, Dr Matthew Sorell will explain how the collaboration got started, what the study tours do in Tallinn and Adelaide, and why this program is so valuable for both Australian and Estonian students.

Dr Matthew Sorell is senior lecturer in telecommunications, multimedia and digital forensic science at the University of Adelaide, and Adjunct Professor of Digital Forensics at the Tallinn University of Technology. A true Eestiphile, he would normally be in Tallinn three times a year. Dr Sorell is also a member of the INTERPOL Digital Forensics Experts Group, Scientific Adviser to FORMOBILE, an EU-funded research project on mobile phone forensics standardisation, an early e-Resident and, despite no known Estonian heritage, an active supporter of the South Australian Estonian community.
