| For the first time, a festival of the opinion culture will take place on August 16 and 17, 2013 in Paide, where different issues regarding Estonia’s present and future will be discussed. The endeavour aims to create an open and inclusive festival tradition that would promote opinion culture and civic education and be free of political ambitions. |
A few years ago I was working at the headquarters of Swedbank in Stockholm and I had a chance to participate for the first time in my life in the Almedalen Week in Visby in July 2010, an event that is considered a kind of phenomenon. The Swedes describe Almedalen as a socio-political Woodstock Festival. |
The festival is a civic initiative and it can happen thanks to the volunteer work of dozens of people and the help of great supporters. You too have the opportunity to contribute to the success of the event – give yourself up as a volunteer or support the festival financially through Hooandja! |
