Save the date – November 28th, 2020 Välis-Eesti päev/A Day for Estonians in the World.
During the day you will get to see the first clips from the collection of films of get-togethers, birthdays, weddings and other important occasions being celebrated by Estonians living abroad that show how national traditions and culture were upheld in communities abroad during the years of Soviet occupation.
CALL TO ACTION
All Estonians living abroad find your old tapes and share your memories. A selection of the films will be shown on Estonian television channel ETV2 in a series called 8 mm ELU (‘8-mm LIFE’) and stored in Vabamu’s archives. More detailed information can be found here.
There will be live crosses to Estonian communities abroad during the event. If you would like to send live greetings to any of the participants, mark your interest in doing so on the registration form below.
