Russian youth
Triin Ulla: Program "Youth meetings"
I could overcome
my fear of
interaction, of
doing or saying
something wrong!
Youth (R), Kohtla-
Järve
I learned that
ethnicity says
nothing about a
person’s essence.
Youth (E), Iisaku
The project had a
really strong impact
on me. Now I want to
learn Estonian and
interact in it
Youth (R), Tallinn
I would like to meet more new
people with different native
languages. I believe now more
in my abilities and do not fear
to learn new things!
Youth (E), Kuressaare
One should not fear that
the language barrier will
prevent any interaction.
Common activities will
quickly break the barrier!
Youth leader (R), Narva
Integration is not a
symmetrical
process!
Majority group is the
crucial target group in
assuring cohesion in
the society!
Contact is
key!
