How can Estonian youth living abroad stay connected to their roots?

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.
