Happy Holidays!

Looking towards the future with a hope for a better and just tomorrow.

Wishing you open hearts and open minds!

We had a great talk with Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid about the role of active people and civil society in protecting democracy, human rights and freedom of expression. Mrs President, thank you for the congratulations and as you wished, we will work together to promote liberal values for at least another 30 years.

We have come a long way. 
It has been an incredible journey and a 
mission helping to develop
and strenghten Estonian civil society and democracy.

We thank all our partners and supporters!
 

On November 8-9, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall - a dramatic historic event for the civil society in a global scale.

Enjoy the brilliant talk between Prof. Timothy Snyder; former president of Estonia Toomas Hendrik Ilves and Heather Grabbe from OSEPI.

The debate on the future of the EU was supported by European Commission Europe for Citizens programme. Similar debates take also place in Latvia and Lithuania. 

Organised by the Open Estonia Foundation and Estonishing Evenings, seven major Estonian candidates running for the European Parliament debated in English the future of Europe.

Watch HERE what it was like!
