SUMMARY:Emakeelepäev - Estonia´s Native Language Day
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 14th is known in Estonia as Emakeelepäev –  a day to celebrate the country´s native language\, Estonian.  \nThis date was chosen to coincide with the birthday of Estonian poet Kristjan Jaak Peterson\, born on March 14\, 1801. Kristjan Jaak Peterson was one of Estonia’s first literary figures.    \nPühapäeval\, 14. märtsil on emakeelepäev.  \n14. märtsil 1801 sündis Riia linnas Kristjan Jaak Peterson\, kes oma eestikeelses luuletuses küsis esimest korda nii: \n„Kas siis selle maa keel laulu tuules ei või taevani tõustes üles igavikku omale otsida?“ \n  \nHere are a few events organized in celebration of Native Language Day 2021: \n1)      Eesti Instituut kutsub välismaal elavaid eesti lapsi ja täiskasvanuid osalema emakeelepäeva eel luulevõistlusel teemal “Mäng”.    Luuletus tuleb esitada hiljemalt 15. märtsil 2021 veebiankeedi kaudu. \nhttps://estinst.ee/eesti-instituut-korraldab-emakeelepaeva-puhul-luulekonkursi/ \n2)      13. märtsil korraldab Eesti Kultuuriseltside Ühendus veebiürituse “Keel mängu või meel kängu”\, kus oma lauludega astub üles Kristiina Ehin Silver Sepa põnevate pillide saatel.

Kuulajail tuleb see kirjutada etteütluse aknasse (allpool)\, valida kategooria ja täita kontaktandmed. Arvesse lähevad enne kella 11 saabunud etteütlused. Tulemustest teavitatakse ning laused ja veaohtlikud kohad arutatakse läbi kell 14.05 algavas saates “Reporteritund”. \nKa tänavu on vaegkuuljatel võimalik etteütlusel osaleda\, kell 10.25 on ERR-i portaalis üleval video\, kust saab teksti lugeja huulilt lugeda.

SUMMARY:Looking North: Conference on Security in the Arctic
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council invites the public to participate in this live virtual public conference. Organized by the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security’s Transatlantic Security Initiative\, in partnership with the Norwegian Ministry of Defense and Royal Norwegian Embassy\, it will also be available for later viewing.  \n“Looking North: Conference on Security in the Arctic” on Friday\, March 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST on the Zoom platform. \nAs the Arctic draws attention from policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic\, climate change opens access to the region and new and traditional actors seek to exploit the void it creates for economic\, military\, geopolitical\, and other benefit. Against this backdrop\, allied government officials have stressed the need to find a common approach between North American and European capitals to ensure the Arctic remains a secure\, stable\, and prosperous arena. \nTo advance discussion on these and other Arctic security issues\, the Atlantic Council\, in partnership with the Norwegian Ministry of Defense and Royal Norwegian Embassy\, is again hosting its annual conference – Looking North: Conference on Security in the Arctic – bringing together expert and official voices to reassess drivers of change in the Arctic and how the United States\, Norway\, and its allies and partners can collectively approach security in the region. \nThis half-day conference will feature conversations with the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ine Eriksen Søreide and Minister of Defense Frank Bakke-Jensen\, as well as two discussion sessions featuring experts on Arctic and transatlantic security\, as well as national perspectives from other Arctic nations. \n

SUMMARY:Estonian film and Talk with Director Jaan Tootsen:  ´Fred Jüssi: The Beauty of Being`
DESCRIPTION:New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House returns in a virtual format! Celebrate contemporary Nordic filmmaking from home in week-long sessions of contemporary feature films and documentaries. The eighth session of the series from April 9 through 15 features the film Aalto (dir. Virpi Suutari; 2020\, Finland)\, a documentary and love story of Finnish modern architecture/design masters Alvar and Aino Aalto\, and the film Fred Jüssi: The Beauty of Being/Fred Jüssi. Olemise ilu (dir. Jaan Tootsen; 2020\, Estonia)\, a documentary about the Estonian biologist\, nature writer\, and photographer Fred Jüssi. The films are available as a special double-feature package. \nWatch the `Fred Jüssi: The Beauty of Being´ trailer here  \nThe documentary Fred Jüssi: The Beauty of Being/Fred Jüssi. Olemise ilu looks at the biologist and nature writer\, who has built his life at the crossroads between nature and culture. A true philosopher of the outdoors\, Jüssi has given deep consideration to the fundamental questions of being human. In contrast to an age where success has been defined by hard work\, Fred Jussi: The Beauty of Being is a film about fruitful inline; a praise for “dolce far niente\,” and a hymn for living slowly. Meandering along nature’s secret trails\, gazing at clouds passing by\, and falling into the sweet embrace of smoke rising from a campfire\, with city noise and economic growth left far\, far behind — as Fred Jüssi puts it: sometimes you just have to be sinfully slothful\, and all by yourself.     (62 min. In Estonian with English subtitles.)  \nPurchase tickets: Aalto & Fred Jüssi: The Beauty of Being | Scandinavia House | Get Tickets | elevent (goelevent.com) \nDirector Jaan Tootsen joins for a virtual film talk on Fred Jüssi: The Beauty of Being with author David Rothenberg; click here for details. \nDirector Virpi Suutari joins for a virtual film talk on Aalto with Peter Reed (former Senior Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs\, MoMA); click here for details.  \nFestival films will be available to ticket holders all over the U.S. Each session is limited to 250 tickets in an effort to preserve the intimate and communal experience. The sessions will take place over seven days (Friday — Thursday)\, with all films available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here. \n \nAalto tells the story of Alvar and Aino Aalto\, a couple who shared their lives and great passion for the organic human-scale architecture. Together they worked to create a better and a more democratic modern world; in their philosophy\, the “little human” was always in the center. In 1949\, Alvar suffered the great tragedy of Aino’s death; he later married the architect Elissa Aalto\, and experienced one of his most significant periods throughout the 1950s\, continuing to work until he died in 1976. \nThe film shares for the first time Alvar and Aino’s intimate love story\, highlighting Aino’s importance as an equal architect colleague and visionary designer\, and takes us on a cinematic tour of their creative processes and iconic buildings\, including a library in Russia\, a student dormitory at MIT\, an art collector’s private house near Paris\, and a pavilion in Venice. Combining contemporary film material and rare unforeseen archives\, Aalto dives into the colorful history of modernism\, where we also meet the Rockefellers\, Le Corbusier and László Moholy-Nagy\, with narration both from the designers’ contemporaries and from researchers throughout the world. (102 min. In Finnish with English subtitles) \n  \nFestival films will be available to ticket holders all over the U.S. Each session is limited to 250 tickets in an effort to preserve the intimate and communal experience. The sessions will take place over seven days (Friday — Thursday)\, with all films available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here. \n

SUMMARY:Advocate for Baltic Security: Stop the NordStream 2 Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Dear Estonian society and community leaders – \n \nPlease consider sharing with your communities this call to action to contact Members of Congress regarding this week’s announcement from the White House that certain parties engaged in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline would be exempt from sanctions that Congress passed into law last year.  EANC and its sister organizations in the Central and East European Coalition have sent a letter to President Biden expressing our concern over the decision\, as we feel waiving these sanctions is a grave mistake. Completion of the pipeline poses many dangers to the security of central and east Europe\, and this to Estonia\, Latvia and Lithuania. We are inviting our constituents to engage with Congress and the White House to ask for reconsideration of this decision.  Below is suggested text to use in forwarding this request to your friends\, colleagues and community members:\n  \n\n\n\nDear Friends of Estonia\,\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe recent report issued by the Biden Administration regarding waivers for NordStream2 entities and individuals has drawn major attention from friends of Estonia on Capitol Hill.  In particular\, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Sens. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Jim Risch (R-ID)\, respectively and other bipartisan Senators have issued statements strongly urging the Administration to reconsider its decision regarding the waivers.  The above-mentioned statements are available at https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/chair/release/chairman-menendez-statement-on-state-departments-nord-stream-2-report- and https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/ranking/release/risch-biden-and-blinken-are-handing-putin-a-gift-with-ns2-waivers \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTo further raise the profile of the Nord Stream2 pipeline sanctions\, the Estonian American National Council invites you to contact your elected officials (Senators and Representatives) and request they issue statements or contact the Administration expressing their disapproval of the waivers.  Feel free to use the Action Item and sample letter here for your convenience.  Your communication with your elected officials will denote the importance and urgency to stop the completion of the political pipeline.\n\n \n\n\nEANC thanks you for your support of our advocacy efforts to help ensure security in the Baltic region and beyond!
