Slide 3
• The increasing mobility of European citizens has
led to a large number of pupils living and studying
abroad.
• Mobility is not only about leaving, but also about
coming back
• Pupils living (temporarily)
abroad have a need for
continued 'homeland
specific' studies in their
native languages.
4. Experience
• City of Riga: experience with returning pupils,
• Miksike: delivering on-line Estonian language lessons to
expatriate Estonians (families from the Estonian Ministry of
Defence and Foreign Affairs who are on long term foreign
missions).
