    EÜL is very grateful for the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, Estonian National Foundation of Civil Society (Kodanikuühiskonna Sihtkapital), Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, Tallinn University and Tartu Mill. Welcome! Dear Friends from the European student movement, I am most happy to welcome you on behalf of Federation of Estonian Student Unions (EÜL) to the 35th European Students’ Convention (ESC) in Tallinn. EÜL is hosting ESC for the very first time and we have chosen our medieval yet high tech capital as the intriguing venue. The ESC “Inclusive Student Movement” concentrates on the safety and well- being of international students in the society and their inclusion in the student movement. EÜL sees problems with the latter aspects both in Estonia and in Europe at large. Together with globalization the internationalisation of higher education in Europe has increased rapidly. Each year there are more and more students who continue their studies abroad. Unfortunately, different societies are not always welcoming of international people, causing the students to experience discrimination in different forms. Furthermore not all higher education institutions are prepared to offer the necessary support and information needed to make the integration of international students and the overcoming of cultural barriers smooth. In addition, there is also a lack of representation of international students on the local, national and international level in the student bodies. The prior description paints a quite gloomy picture. We see there’s a lot of room for improvement. And there always will be because its like Don Quixote and his fights with the windmills.

After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

  • Art Museum of Estonia Kumu Art Museum Press Release 2 December 2019
    Art Museum of Estonia Kumu Art Museum Press release 2 December 2019 The largest exhibition of works by Estonian female artists will open at the Kumu Art Museum. On Thursday, 5 December at 5 pm, Emancipating Woman in Estonian and Finnish Art will open at the Kumu Art Museum. This is the largest exposition of artworks by Estonian female artists. It sheds light on a great deal of little-known material and establishes a dialogue with the works of Finnish female artists. The exhibition is the result of collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum. During the Art Museum of Estonia’s 100th year of operation, Kumu has focused on female artists. This exhibition focuses on the changes in the self-awareness and social positions of women that started in the 19th century and are echoed in the activities of female artists, as well as in the way women are depicted. Works by Julie Hagen Schwarz, Sally von Kügelgen, Karin Luts, Natalie Mei, Lydia Mei, Aino Bach, Olga Terri, Maria Wiik, Helene Schjerfbeck, Sigrid Schauman, Elga Sesemann, Ellen Thesleff, Tove Jansson, Tuulikki Pietilä and others will be on display. Starting in the second half of the 20th century, more attention started to be paid to the works of female artists throughout the world. Prior to that, for various historical and social reasons, the works of female artists had often been viewed as secondary. Therefore, far fewer works by female artists than by men were included in art collections or exhibitions. And yet, the biographies and creative paths of many female artists confirm that women have not necessarily been the passive victims of social conditions, but have created opportunities for self- development.

  • Suur Tõll 100 – Muuseumlaev Või Laevmuuseum
    Eesti Meremuuseum Eesti Meremuuseumi XIV teaduskonverents Suur Tõll 100 – muuseumlaev või laevmuuseum Tallinn 2014 Christian Ostersehlte (1959) Lõpetanud Kieli Ülikooli ajaloo erialal (PhD). Töötanud muuseumides, arhiivides ja merendusettevõtetes arhivaarina. Ehitajad: Vulcan-Werke laevatehas Stettinis 20. sajandi algul Stettinis asunud Vulcani laevatehast peetakse üheks 19. sajandi lõpu ja 20. sajandi alguse Saksamaa üheks tehnoloogiliselt arenenuimaks laevatehaseks. 1851.aastal asutasid Hamburgi töösturid Franz Friedrich Dietrich Früchtenicht ja Franz Wilhelm Brock ühtse laevatehase, inseneriettevõtte ja valukoja Bredowis (alates 1900. aastast Stettini äärelinnaosa). Algusest peale oli neil kavas ehitada teraskerega aurulaevu, sellega oli tehas üks esimesi omataolisi Saksamaal. Kuni 1870. aastateni moodustasid põhiosa laevatehase toodangust väikese ja keskmise suurusega alused: seal ehitati puksiire, parvlaevu ning kuni 60 meetri pikkusi kauba- ja reisilaevu; samuti hakati ehitama sõjalaevu Saksamaa jaoks. Laevatehase esimene välisklient oli Hiina, kellele ehitati aastatel 1883 kuni 1887 viis soomuslaeva. See oli Saksa laevatööstuse suur läbimurre välisturul. Hiljem said Vulcani laevatehase klientideks veel Jaapan, Kreeka, Uruguay ja Venemaa. 20. sajandi algul hakkas laevatehas ehitama suuri ja keskmisi kauba- ja reisilaevu. Enamasti oli tegemist Saksa firmade tellimusega, kuid täideti ka välisriikide tellimusi.
