Estonian youth living abroad have access to a variety of programs and events that help strengthen their connection to Estonia and their heritage. For example, the Global Estonian Youth Network (ÜENV) connects and supports young Estonians abroad by organizing meetups, projects, and information exchange.

Every summer, language and cultural camps, as well as summer schools, offer opportunities to practice Estonian, learn about Estonian culture, and make new friends from around the world. Scholarships and internships are also available to help youth study or work in Estonia.

The Globalestonian.com portal is a key source for up-to-date information on program news, camps, funding, and other opportunities supporting young Estonians.

Connections to Estonia and cultural roots are also maintained through local Estonian community events, Estonian language courses, youth organizations, and Estonian societies and schools operating in various countries. Modern digital channels allow participation in events in Estonia even from a distance.

Students can receive various forms of support when preparing for Estonian national exams, both at school and online. 

In Estonia, an electronic testing environment is used, which provides sample exams and learning materials to help practice the exam format and topics. Some universities and educational institutions offer free online preparatory courses, such as Tallinn University of Technology’s national exam preparation program.

Exam support includes study materials and electronic exercises for Estonian language, mathematics, and other elective subjects, which can be completed from home or at school. Schools and official channels of the Estonian Education and Youth Board provide more detailed information about exams and preparation opportunities.
