SUMMARY:Applications being Accepted: Scholarships for paid internships in Estonia
DESCRIPTION:Applications are now being accepted for scholarships toward internships in Estonia for young Estonians (ages 18-35) living outside of Estonia. This program is being offered by the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ESTDEV. \n\n\n\nThe aim of the program is to give young people aged 18-35 who were either born abroad or have lived abroad for more than five years the opportunity to get to know Estonia better\, develop professionally in their field\, and network. Deadline for application is April 2\, 2025\, 11:59 pm (Estonian time) \n\n\n\nThe scholarship consists of a basic scholarship and\, if necessary\, a travel scholarship. The basic scholarship is intended for a full-time internship of at least 4 weeks. The amount of the grant is 1\,500 euros for 4-6 weeks and 3\,000 euros for 7+ weeks. If necessary\, an additional travel scholarship will be paid for one trip from your place of residence abroad to Estonia and back. The internship period is May 1 – November 30\, 2025. \n\n\n\nImportant to know: one element of the application is the availability of an internship in Estonia. If you want to seize the opportunity\, but you do not yet have a professional internship in Estonia and you do not know where to start\, send your motivation letter to the global Estonian address diasporaa@mfa.ee and we will try to help you further. \n\n\n\nWe are collaborating with Work in Estonia to make the internship program a success. \n\n\n\nThe application round is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and implemented by ESDTEV. \n\n\n\nLearn more (in Estonian) \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nWebsite\n\n\n\n\nContact: taotlused@estdev.ee

SUMMARY:2025 ALJA Ski Trip - Colorado!
DESCRIPTION:The American Latvian Youth Association invites members of the Lithuanian and Estonain communities to join them for a ski weekend at Copper Mountain\, Colorado.  \n\n\n\nThe group will be staying in Silverthorne/Dillon\, CO from March 21-23\, with the option to stay through Monday. There will be options for both Epic and Ikon resorts. People of all ages are welcome\, with a special shout out to Baltic youth (18-35 yrs).  \n\n\n\nMore info can be found here https://alja.org/alja-notikumi/2025/3/23/2025-alja-ski-trip-colorado \n\n\n\nhttps://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02taErTTzitqaJn2mGyB1bnR1hN4NiGT5j5FhSM1f8Qs6oSLEMnHKL9y1u8wzE4aEdl&id=100064656858253&mibextid=wwXIfr \n\n\n\nFrom the Organizers:\n\n\n\n ALJA is helping to sponsor a western mountain ski trip in Colorado on March 21st-23rd. This event will be open to all ages and families that would like to visit. The plan is to stay in the Silverthorne/Dillion area and ski the surrounding mountains. There are numerous options within the vicinity for both IKON ((APPROXIMATE TIMES)….(Copper Mountain – 15 min\, Winter Park -1hr15) and Epic Pass Holders (Breckenridge – 20 min\, Vail – 35min). \n\n\n\nDillion/Silverthorne are neighboring each other and have a variety of restuarants bars\, etc. There is plenty to do around town\, and everything is accessible off the main road through town and from highway I-70. From the airport\, travel times are around 1hr20 minutes\, depending on weather for that day. Driving/carpooling is the only available method of transport. Shuttles are available and can be found\, prices do vary. Please note: ALJA WILL NOT BE PROVIDING transportation. Talk with friends or respond to this interest form to set up carpooling. \n\n\n\nLodging: \n\n\n\nALJA will not be providing lodging\, once again\, please respond to this inquiry form so we can get an accurate headcount. Depending on how many people show interest\, we can group up in Airbnb’s. If you want to spend the money\, Lodging is absolutely available on the mountains. Prices vary and can be extremely expensive. Hotels are also an option\, but Airbnb’s/Vrbo’s are likely to be the best\, most cost-efficient method of lodging. This will also make transportation and carpooling easier. \n\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n\nFriday: Arrival. Check in to most hotels/Airbnb’s is usually around 4pm\, plan accordingly. Friday night @ 8pm\, meet up at a bar or restaurant. TBD based on number of people. \n\n\n\nSaturday: SKI/SNOWBOARD all day. IKON pass members will (likely) ski at Copper Mountain. Meet for lunch 12ish@ Downhill Dukes or Jack’s\, Most lifts close around 330-4. Epic pass members (BOOOO Vail sucks 😀 ) can ski wherever they choose. Après ski afterwards or head back to Airbnb’s. Saturday Night 9pm\, meet up at Elevation Bowling for ALJA social event. Elevation Bowl is walkable from most places in Dillion and has a full bar/food\, all ages allowed. The bowling alley closes 1am(ish) and lanes cost $55/hr. We are hoping ALJA will help cover some of this cost of the bowling lanes. \n\n\n\nSunday: Check out of Airbnb/Head home\, or ski with the locals. If people are interested in staying until Monday\, just indicate that in the form. We can get a group with an Airbnb that is rented until then. We know this is last minute\, but there has been a lot of interest in another ski trip out west.  Any questions or need help with planning\, please contact Davids Lackajs. Feel free to message him on Instagram/Facebook as well. He will also be added to the ALJA Discord channels soon. \n\n\n\n\nRegister or indicate interest here\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent website\n\n\n\nRead more on Facebook
