Top 12 most outstanding Estonian women in the world – From Estonian World

0

On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, Estonian World has compiled a list of most outstanding Estonian women on the global stage.

It is important to emphasise that this is not the ultimate list of the most important Estonian women in the world. There are many others who work hard every day to make life better for everyone. Merely, we have brought out the names of Estonian women who have a larger than usual clout and impact outside Estonian borders and help to get the name “Estonia” to the lips of more people around the world. We believe this list can only be ever-expanding and when we come around to it next year, it is quite possible that we can compile already a “top 20”.

Väliseesti noored on taas oodatud Eestisse laagrisuve veetma

Integratsiooni ja Migratsiooni Sihtasutus Meie Inimesed (MISA) ja MTÜ HeadEst ootavad väljaspool Eestit elavaid 13-18 aastaseid Eesti juurtega noori kandideerima tänavu suvel Eestis toimuvatesse keele- ja kultuurilaagritesse.

Väliseesti noorte keele- ja kultuurilaagrid toimuvad MISA toel juba 2000. aastast. Laagrite eesmärk on võimaldada Eesti päritolu ning teistes riikides elavatele noortele suhelda laagrikeskkonnas eestlastest eakaaslastega ja õppida seeläbi eesti keelt, osaleda ekskursioonidel, sportida ning tutvuda Eesti vaatamisväärsuste ja kultuuriga.

MTÜ HeadEst tegevjuhi Epp Adleri sõnul on laagrid populaarsed ja igal aastal on kolmandik osalejaid olnud samad. „Laager aitab välismaal elavatel noortel oma juurte kohta rohkem teada saada ja end selleläbi määratleda. Paljud on kuulnud Eesti kohta vaid lugusid ja seetõttu on äärmiselt rikastav kogemus ka ise oma päritolumaaga tutvust teha.“

Tänavu toimuvad laagrid neljas vahetuses juunist augustini. Esimene laagrivahetus on mõeldud noortele, kellel puudub eesti keele oskus või kelle eesti keele teadmised on vähesed. Viljandi maakonnas Venevere puhkekülas toimuv laager algab 12. juunil ja kestab 22. juunini.

Teine laagrivahetus, mis kestab 29. juunist 9. juulini, on mõeldud neile noortele, kes valdavad eesti keelt edasijõudnu tasemel. Laager toimub Viljandi maakonnas Venevere puhkekülas.

Kolmas laagrivahetus on mõeldud neile noortele, kes valdavad eesti keelt edasijõudnu tasemel ning laager toimub 16. – 26. juulini Läänemaal UusKalda Spordi- ja Puhkekülas.

Neljas laagrivahetus on samuti neile noortele, kes valdavad eesti keelt vabalt ning laager toimub 03.-13. augustini Viljandi maakonnas Venevere puhkekülas.

Lastevanematel on võimalik oma lapsi eesti keele- ja kultuurilaagrisse registreerida kuni 25. märtsini MISA kodulehel. Tänavu on võimalik taotleda MISAlt ka osalist või täielikku osaleja sõidukulude kompensatsiooni.

Esitatud taotluste hulgast teeb MISA valiku, lähtudes noore keeleoskusest, motivatsioonist, vanusest, asukohamaast, väljaspool Eestit elamise ajast, laagris eelnevalt viibitud kordade arvust ja sõidukulude suurusest.

Sihtasutus teatab noore vastuvõtust keelelaagrisse e-posti teel hiljemalt 10. aprilliks.

Eesti päritolu noortele võimaldatakse keele- ja kultuurilaagreid „Rahvuskaaslaste programm 2014–2020“ raames. Laagri läbiviimist toetavad Kultuuriministeerium ning Haridus- ja Teadusministeerium.

The Integration and Migration Foundation and the NPO HeadEst await applications from youngsters with Estonian roots between the ages of 13 and 18 to take part in the language and culture camps to be held in Estonia this summer.

The camps have been held with the support of the Integration Foundation every year since 2000. They are designed to enable young people who live in other countries but whose roots are in Estonia to get to know local Estonians their own age, thereby improving their skills in the language. They also have the opportunity to take part in excursions and sports, see some of the country’s sights and learn about its culture.

Epp Adler, the CEO of HeadEst, says the camps are so popular that around one-third of all those who take part each year are the same. “The camps give youngsters living overseas the chance to really dig around in their roots and discover who they are,” she said. “For a lot of them the only Estonia they know is the one they’ve heard about in stories, which is why it’s such an enriching experience for them to get to know the country their parents or grandparents came from first hand.”

This year there will be four camps from June to August. The first will be for young people who speak no Estonian or understand only a little of the language. It will be held at Venevere Holiday Centre in Viljandi County from 12-22 June.

The second camp will be held from 29 June-9 July and will be for young people who speak Estonian at an upper-intermediate level. It too will be held at Venevere Holiday Centre.

The third camp will also be for young people who speak Estonian at an upper-intermediate level. It will be held at theUusKalda Sports and Recreation Village in Lääne County from 16-26 July.

The fourth and final camp will be for young people who speak Estonian fluently. It will be held at Venevere Holiday Centrefrom 3-13 August.

Parents can register their children for the language and culture camps on the website of the Integration Foundation until 25 March. This year it is also possible to apply for travel costs to be partly or fully covered by the foundation.

The foundation will select the applicants to take part based on their Estonian skills, their motivation, how old they are, where they are from, how long they have lived outside of Estonia, whether they have attended camps before and the travel costs involved.

The foundation will inform the selected applicants by e-mail by 10 April.

The language and culture camps are organised for young people with Estonian roots as part of the ‘Countrymen programme 2014-2020’. They are run with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry and Education and Research.

Sydney Estonian Society invites you to the theatre!!!
Sunday, March 15 at 4pm at Sydney Estonian House
Tickets $20

Tutvustus:
Realistlik näidend „Raineri hommik“ toob vaataja ette ühe inimese hommikutunni, mis on täis üksindust, aga ka armastust ja lootust. Monoetenduses on koomilised noodid, mis lasevad arvata, et iga üksiku vana mehe elul on suur mõte, et iga inimese elu iga pisimgi sündmus on oluline ja et iga elu on elamist väärt. Ja et kõige tähtsam on armastus. Päris finaalis pöörab esitus helgesse lüürikasse, pakkudes ootamatu lahenduse. „Kõik on hästi ja üha paremaks läheb“, kordab Rainer.

Mängib Indrek Taalmaa, kes on Eesti üks tuntumaid koomikuid.
