Selection of past events
Today we unveil the Estonian Dialogue Academy’s new visual identity. Our goal was to create a visual language that represents the core values of our organisation: empowering people to participate actively in group dialogue, community participation, and public conversation.
What is the reason for a child or teen to commit a crime? And who should we blame? These questions were discussed last week by twenty young participants of our Youth Dialogue Lab (Noorte Arutelulabor). Two officers from the Estonian police working with young delinquents joined the conversations, as well as child protection expert Jane Snaith.
Adult educators and peace education promoters met for a group dialogue as part of our Teach Peace project. People from different organisations and fields in Estonia reflected on peace education as a way of understanding other people’s perspectives, practising peaceful and non-violent communication, and using dialogue as a form of thinking together.
On Tuesday we visited Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom in Tallinn. Here we gained a deeper understanding of Estonia’s recent history and the development of our modern free society. Our guide explained why Vabamu was created, which stories the permanent exhibition highlights, and how different historical periods have shaped everyday life.
Our Youth Dialogue Lab visited the Mondo NGO in Tallinn. We started off with an inspiring and interactive presentation by Global Education expert Mari Jõgiste. The participants learned about the aid work of Mondo around the world and about their global education program. They also discussed the difference between helping people you know and people you don’t.
The day was rainy, but despite that, quite a few young people had gathered for our kick-off of Youth Dialogue Lab. As soon as you stepped inside, a table decorated with balloons caught your eye. This immediately raised a question of what might be waiting for us. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation and curiosity.
With participants of Youth Dialogue Lab we visited this year’s Opinion Festival / Arvamusfestival in Paide, in the heart of Estonia. Our group participated in conversations about libraries, youth, equality in education, democracy, and Baltic cooperation. Taaniel Raudsepp, the leader of the festival, was very kind to welcome our participants.
