One can say that a good set of methods to study urban formations were tried out and used: observations, inter- views, work with literature, compara- tive work with maps & other archive materials etc. A multitude of cases were studied, and bunch of fruitful discussions were held. And a won- derful array of possible outputs for engaging audience in presenting the 10 Spontaneous Walk 11 Church Rotermanni Rotermanni 3 Structures Tree Towers Market Pigeons Flower Stands New Building McDonald’s Viru Gate Souvenir Shop Pärnu mnt 10 Energia Kohvik 12 Introduction As the name says, this walk for us, students, was spontaneous and unknown. Most of us were not familiar with Tallinn at that time as we arrived not long before our studies started. Tings were about to change when we plunged into urban fabric, thinking on our feet and holding the “speakers stone”. We had to make up stories unprompted and by this observed, experienced and examined places on our way which started our Crash- course in Tallinn. 13 TOM brennecke (full-time student in EKA Urban Studies MA) I addressed somehow a traditional, but a bit special souvenir shop. Te shop sells puppets and other hand made goods from the region. Te owner of the shop, an Ukrainian man, illustrated the shop with talking about his history in Estonia and how he ended up in Tallinn. It was a fugitive but surprisingly deep entrance into Estonian crafs and local shops. Aleksandra dorofeeva (full-time student in EKA Urban Studies MA) Referring to the McDonald’s cafe, I went along with my personal story of coming to Tallinn for the frst time and being warmly greeted there by a stranger. My experience demonstrated how identity of a place is mentally constructed with diferent narratives, showing for example how intimacy gives banal public place the layer of sacredness. Fruzsina Csala (architecture and design theory student from Budapest, Hungary) I am an art and design theory student from Hungary spending my Erasmus semester at EKA. During our frst walk I mentioned the concrete pigeons of Tallinn. Tese nice petite landmarks gently divide streets or function as barriers. For me these types of details make the city cosy and likeable. 14 Church Rotermanni Rotermanni 3 Structures Tree Towers Market Pigeons Flower Stands New Building McDonald’s Viru Gate Souvenir Shop Pärnu mnt 10 Energia Kohvik : Gungor: Gunes: (full-time student in EKA Urban Studies MA) During the spontaneous walk, I addressed the gate of Old Town and the maintenance construction within its surroundings. 15 Jolande Kirschbaum (urbanism student from Weimar, Germany) I addressed the De la Gardie building on Viru street. Te building was among the frst new ones in Old Town afer the occupation and is widely discussed because it breaks up the historical structure. Still, it tries to play with some features of the old town, e.g using the same type of stone in parts of its facade. Elena Bolkhovitinova (full-time student in EKA Urban Studies MA) For an art historian like me, old towns are always places of interest with all the historical layers interwoven, creating something completely new. Te area following the inner side of the city wall near Viru Gates is an interesting spot as it is a new woollen goods market meant mostly for tourists, but in the past this place was most likely a trade place for the local inhabitants. Johannes Pointner (architecture student from Munich, Germany) Close to the Viru Gate a strip of the medieval city wall is well presented and visible. Te old structure of stones and mortar is at this part reinforced by ferroconcrete pillars which were obviously added in more recent times. Te way of dealing with the old heritage and the contrast between both construction methods of diferent times was of interest for me. 16 Church Rotermanni Rotermanni 3 Structures Tree Towers Market Pigeons Flower Stands New Building McDonald Viru Gate Souvenir Shop Pärnu mnt 10 Energia Kohvik Mikko Toivanen (architecture student from Tampere, Finland) I led the group through the fower stands on Viru street. Te colours and smells of the fowers in contrast to the slightly unpleasant busy street crowded by tourists create an ambivalent atmosphere which can be experienced in the busiest tourist season, in a certain time of the day. 17 Nina Stener (full-time student in EKA Urban Studies MA) I led the group to Energia Kohvik, a special place that has survived the transition, a calm well decorated haven for Tallinners to enjoy their cofee without loud music and having to choose between macchiato, fat white or moccachino. Anastassija Malkova (full-time student in EKA Urban Studies MA) At the Viru centre Narva maantee entrance we can have a glimpse of a house with three towers.

  • History Education: the Case of Estonia
    Mare Oja History Education: The Case of Estonia https://doi.org/10.22364/bahp-pes.1990-2004.09 History Education: The Case of Estonia Mare Oja Abstract. This paper presents an overview of changes in history teaching/learning in the general education system during the transition period from Soviet dictatorship to democracy in the renewed state of Estonia. The main dimensions revealed in this study are conception and content of Estonian history education, curriculum and syllabi development, new understanding of teaching and learning processes, and methods and assessment. Research is based on review of documents and media, content analysis of textbooks and other teaching aids as well as interviews with teachers and experts. The change in the curriculum and methodology of history education had some critical points due to a gap in the content of Soviet era textbooks and new programmes as well as due to a gap between teacher attitudes and levels of knowledge between Russian and Estonian schools. The central task of history education was to formulate the focus and objectives of teaching the subject and balance the historical knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes in the learning process. New values and methodical requirements were included in the general curriculum as well as in the syllabus of history education and in teacher professional development. Keywords: history education, history curriculum, methodology Introduction Changes in history teaching began with the Teachers’ Congress in 1987 when Estonia was still under Soviet rule. The movement towards democratic education emphasised national culture and Estonian ethnicity and increased freedom of choice for schools. In history studies, curriculum with alternative content and a special course of Estonian history was developed.

It is also available online: http://www.borenv.net/BER/pdfs/ber12/ber12-653.pdf Introduction Estonia is located in a transition zone between regions having a maritime climate in the west and continental climate in the east and is a relatively small country (45,227 km2), but its geographical location between the Fenno-scandian Shield and East European Platform and comparatively long coastline (over 4000 km) due to numerous peninsulas, bays and islands (>1,500 island), results in a variety of shore types and ecosystems. The western coast is exposed to waves generated by prevailing westerly winds, with NW waves dominant along the north-facing segment beside the Gulf of Finland, contrasting with southern relatively sheltered sectors located on the inner coasts of islands and along the Gulf of Livonia (Riga). The coastline classification is based on the concept of wave processes straightening initial irregular outlines via erosion of Capes/bay deposition, or a combination (Orviku, 1974, Orviku and Granö, 1992, Gudelis, 1967). Much coast (77%) is irregular with the geological composition of Capes and bays being either hard bedrock or unconsolidated Quaternary deposits, notably glacial drift.

  • 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.
