Estonia
Welcome
National Cultural Institutes with permanent presence in Estonia have been cooperating since the beginning of 1990s. First foreign cultural representation to be opened in Estonia was Danish Cultural Institute in 1990, followed by the Nordic Council of Ministers` Office next year. Note that Estonia got its independency from August, 20-1991.
The first institutes` event in collaboration was cultural program VARIA 1994 in the National Library of Estonia, presenting cultural institutes and respective countries. Institutes worked closely together assisting embassies in promotion of European qualities and cooperation in the beginning of this century, when Baltic States prepared for the European Union membership. Institutes participated in two Brussel CICEB projects, being thus involved in all-European cooperation.
On 30 October 2008 the EUNIC in Estonia cluster was founded and registered at the EUNIC Europe network. National organisation Estonian Institute is participating as full member of EUNIC in Estonia.
First collaboration at multi-cluster level for EUNIC in Estonia was through Alter Ego project, which grew into a follow-up on the local country level in 2009.
EUNIC in Estonia cluster holds regular meetings, planning cooperation projects and informing each other about the country programs.
