Therefore, we offer youth who have had experience in the area an opportunity to express their own thoughts and stories about migration, identity, adjusting to a new culture and settling in in Estonia. 

This event is organised as part of the “Shared Journeys!” that is co-funded by the EU, Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the funds of development cooperation and humanitarian aid.
