SUMMARY:Camp for Adult Estonian Compatriots in Estonia
DESCRIPTION:This one-of-a-kind camp for adults takes place partially in Tallinn and partially out of town. The camp will welcome 30 young people of Estonian descent aged 18–30\, including up to 24 participants living abroad and 6 from Estonia. Deadline to apply is May 4. \n\n\n\nThe camp aims to provide young people of Estonian origin living abroad with the opportunity to learn about life\, study\, and work opportunities in Estonia\, as well as to deepen their knowledge of the Estonian language\, culture\, and history. \n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to strengthen ties with Estonia\, visit cultural and historical sites\, exchange experiences\, and discover Estonia. Participants will learn about the government\, educational opportunities\, and business environment. During the camp program you will explore Estonian traditions\, practice the language\, and contribute to the preservation of Estonian culture and identity worldwide. The camp also offers an opportunity to build new friendships and networks among young people from Estonia and abroad. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMore info \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nParticipation in the camp is free of charge. However\, participants should be prepared for some personal expenses\, such as a few meals and any additional costs of their choice. Participants are responsible for covering their travel expenses to and from Tallinn and their health insurance. \n\n\n\nTo apply for the 2025 camp\, please fill out the online registration form by May 04\, 2025. \n\n\n\nPlease note that registration does not guarantee a place in the camp. Final confirmation of participation will be sent via email within two weeks after the registration ends. If there are more applicants than available camp places\, priority will be given to those participants who live far away from Estonia\, have not participated in the camp before (or have participated only 1-2 times) and have submitted a meaningful motivational letter. \n\n\n\nWe also encourage young people from Estonia with a good command of Estonian (level B2+) to register\, as they will support language learning and help compatriots settle in during the camp. \n\n\n\nSelected participants will sign an agreement confirming their awareness and commitment to actively engage in the camp’s activities. If a spot becomes available\, it will be offered to the next person on the waiting list. Before attending the camp\, please ensure that all travel documents are valid and that you have valid health insurance for Estonia. \n\n\n\nThe youth camp for adult Estonian compatriots is funded by the Ministry of Education and Research of Estonia. \n\n\n\nContact:  \n\n\n\nMarika SulgCompatriots Service Consultantmarika.sulg@integratsioon.ee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTäiskasvanud rahvuskaaslaste laager toimub 17.–24.08.2025 osaliselt Tallinnas ja osaliselt ööbimisega  väljaspool linna. \n\n\n\nLaagrisse on oodatud 30 Eesti juurtega noort vanuses 18–30 aastat\, kellest kuni 24 elavad välismaal ja 6 Eestis ning kellel on soov avastada Eestit ja leida uusi sõpru. \n\n\n\nLaagri eesmärk on tagada välismaal elavatele eesti päritolu noortele võimalus tutvuda Eesti elu\, õppimis- ja töövõimalustega ning süveneda eesti keelde\, kultuuri ja ajalukku. \n\n\n\nSee on suurepärane võimalus tugevdada sidet Eestiga\, külastada kultuurilisi ja ajaloolisi paiku\, jagada kogemusi ning avastada uusi võimalusi Eestis. Osalejad saavad tutvuda riigikorralduse ja riigiasutustega\, õppimisvõimaluste ja ettevõtluskeskkonnaga. Laagri käigus avastame erinevaid traditsioone\, õpime eesti keelt ning aitame kaasa eesti kultuuri ja identiteedi säilitamisele üle maailma. Laager pakub võimalust luua uusi sõprussuhteid ja võrgustikke nii Eestis kui ka välismaal elavate noorte vahel. \n\n\n\nLaagris osalemine on tasuta. Arvestama peaks üksikute osaliste kuludega (mõni toidukord ja omal soovil lisakulud). Tallinnasse reisimise ja koju naasmise ning tervisekindlustusega seotud kulud katab osaleja ise. \n\n\n\nEt registreerida 2025. aasta laagrisse\, palun täida veebi-vorm kuni 04.05.2025. \n\n\n\nPalun arvestada\, et registreerimine ei taga kohta laagris ja lõpliku kinnituse laagris osalemise kohta saate e-posti teel kahe nädala jooksul peale registreerimise lõppemist. Kui soovijaid on rohkem kui kohti\, eelistame osalejateks\, kes pole varem laagris osalenud (või on osalenud vähesel määral)\, elab kaugemates riikides ning kelle motivatsioonikiri on sisukas ja põhjalik. \n\n\n\nOotame registreerima ka eesti keelt heal tasemel (B2+) oskavaid noori Eestist\, kes toetaksid rahvuskaaslaste keeleõpet ja kohanemist laagris. \n\n\n\nValitud osalejatega sõlmime kokkuleppe\, mis kinnitab osaleja teadlikkust ja valmisolekut panustada laagris korraldatud tegevustesse. Laagrikoha vabanemisel antakse laagrikoht varunimekirjas olevale järgmisele noorele. \n\n\n\nPalun enne laagrisse tulemist jälgida\, et kõik dokumendid reisimiseks on korrektsed ja  samuti on oluline Eestis kehtiv tervisekindlustuse olemasolu.  \n\n\n\nTäiskasvanud rahvuskaaslaste laagrit rahastab Haridus- ja Teadusministeerium. \n\n\n\nLISAINFO:\n\n\n\nMarika SulgRahvuskaaslaste valdkonna nõustajamarika.sulg@integratsioon.ee
