Cultural relations There is great interest towards the Spanish language and culture in Estonia, and it has increased significantly in recent years. Since 1992 the University of Tartu has offered Spanish courses on a full-time basis, and Spainish embassy in Helsinki has provided the university with a magnificent collection of literature in Spanish. The University of Tartu has concluded an agreement regarding the exchange of lecturers and advanced students with the University of Granada. Student exchange also occurs with the Oviedo and Las Palmas universities. Many Estonian teachers of Spanish have studied in Spain on Spanish scholarships, as have officials of the foreign ministry and other governmental institutions of Estonia. Tallinn’s Westholm High School has offered a Spanish course since 1996. In autumn 2001 the Ambassador of Spain, Carderera Soler signed an agreement with the Pedagogical University in Tallinn that generously delivered Spanish literature to the university and introduced courses in Spanish language and literature there. Renowned Professor J¼ri Talvet was bestowed the Isabel Catolica Order in 1992 for merits in developing Estonian-Spanish cultural relations.

Cultural Relations During the past decades the works of Sienkiewicz, à ½eromski, DÄ browska and Miloà ›Ä‡i have been introduced to Estonian readers through the translations of Hendrik Lindepuu, Aleksander Kurtna and Ruth Karem¤e. Polish readers would be familiar with the Estonian works of Tammsaare, Kross and Valton. In 1997, the Estonian National Library in co-operation with the Polish National Library and the Polish embassy opened an exhibition of Polish literature consisting of more than 100 books. Translator Ruth Karem¤e was chosen among those 16 persons who in the autumn of 2001 received a diploma from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland for making Poland known in the world. Those interested in military history can find "The Polish Room" in the museum of General Johan Laidoner in Viimsi, where the exhibition introduces the history of the Polish Army in the first decades of the XX century. Estonian theatre has traditionally been successful at the Contact Festival of Toruà „ (the 1992 Grand Prix awarded to "The Punjaba Pot Works of Epp Pillapardi" of Priit Pedajas). In May 2002, the Estonian Drama Theatre participated at the festival with “Aristocrats” by Brian Friel.

The graduates of the schools mentioned receive at the graduation both German and Estonian high school diplomas, which means that in the course of the same examination they pass the German graduation exam and the Estonian state exam. Thereafter they have equal rights and opportunities as the German graduates in Germany, as the language diploma received proves their German language level, which is sufficient for studying at German universities.

84. Estonia And Finland : Cultural Relations place in the lives of Lydia Koidula, Gustav Suits, Friedebert Tuglas, VillemRidala, Oskar Kallas and several other great figures in Estonian culture. http://www.estemb.fi/lang_4/rub_404/rub2_515

Cultural Relations Cultural contacts between the two countries are very close in a variety of fields, because of the everyday interaction between cultural figures and organizations. Student and scientist exchanges are now commonplace, with many Estonian students and scientists studying and working at Finnish universities. At the same time Finnish students form the largest ethnic group among the foreign students at the University of Tartu. The embassies of the two countries, the Estonian Institute in Finland and the Finnish Institute in Estonia, the Tuglas Society, the umbrella organisation of Estonian societies active in Finland "Viro-yhdistysten liitto ry", and other associations have been active promoters of cultural interaction. An increasing number of works dealing with Estonian culture and identity are being published in Finland, for example: A.H.Tammsaare's Truth and Justice ( Tµde ja µigus ) part one in new translation, A.Kivir¤hk’s The Threshing Overseer ( Rehepapp ), the biographies of many famous Estonians, a work about Konstantin P¤ts by Matti Turtola; Saaremaa Waltz, a narrative of Georg Ots’ life by Kulle Raig and the memoirs of Eri Klas.

Cultural Relations Historically speaking, there is a very special connection between Estonia and Denmark. According to legend, the Danish flag fell from heaven in 1219 during the battle of Lyndanisse in Estonia. The Danish King's Garden at Toompea in Tallinn marks the birthplace of the Dannebrog, the Danish flag. The name of our capital "Tallinn", or Taani linn, means "Danish town". In the summer of 2000, the Danish King's Garden was reconstructed as a joint project of the Kingdom of Denmark’s "Fund 2000" and the City of Tallinn. In the framework of events dedicated to the Day of the Danish Flag on 15 June, the actors of the studio "Theatrum" have performed several plays in the Danish King's Garden. The Danish Cultural Institute, established in Tallinn in 1990, has played an important role in maintaining and developing Danish-Estonian cultural ties. The Institute has brought concert orchestras to Estonia (the symphony orchestras of Aarhus and Sjaelland), facilitated art exhibitions and initiated the arrangement of Danish and Nordic film weeks and film festivals. The Danish Cultural Institute has also sponsored the translation of Danish literature into Estonian and has co-operated with various Estonian organizations on education and social projects. The publication of the Estonian-Danish/Danish-Estonian Dictionary in 1998 marked an important milestone in the cultural relations between the two countries. Several works by important Danish authors, such as Villy S¸rensen, Karen Blixen, Steen Steensen Blicher and Peter Freuchen, have been translated into Estonian. The work of Saxo Grammaticus has also been translated into Estonian. Works of Estonian authors like Jaan Kaplinski, Viivi Luik, Emil Tode and Jaan Kross have been published in Danish.

Culture and Education Estonian culture has been well represented in Italy mainly in the field of music and fine arts – culture-loving Italians know composers Arvo P¤rt and Erkki-Sven T¼¼r, conductor Tµnu Kaljuste, as well as painter Jaan Toomik. The concerts of Estonian grand masters are always sold out and reviews of exhibitions are positive. Especially well known and popular among the Italians is Arvo P¤rt. Estonian artists have participated in a number of Venice biennials. In 2003 Estonia will be represented by the curator project John Smith: Marko Und Kaido of Andres H¤rm presenting the paintings and installations of Marko M¤etamm and Kaido Ole. In addition head curator of the Venetian biennial Fr. Bonami included Jaan Toomik in his curator project. Toomik's video "Mart and Peeter" will be shown. In Italy also the Estonian designers and stylists, who have been presented in Milan, Rome, as well as Florence are about to find recognition. The Estonian restorers have a possibility to study at different Italian restoration schools. In 2002 at Adamson-Eric Museum the group exhibition of the Finnish and Italian artists "Be’ ... No ... Ei-No!". Marja-Leena Valkola, Pirjo Saanio, Tuomo Klemi from Finland and Pippo Altomare, Nicola Spezzano and Salvatore Dominelli from Italy were presented.
