Why take part?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn Estonia, we talk a lot about cooperation and social innovation. We know they are necessary, yet too often they remain abstract ideas. In Ida-Viru County, we will experience them up close \u2013 see with our own eyes how ideas are turned into reality and how people have created initiatives that benefit entire communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study trip is designed for everyone who wants to broaden their horizons, gain new ideas, and find cooperation partners \u2013 whether you are a consultant in the civil society sector, a local government development specialist, an entrepreneur, or simply someone interested in collaboration and community development. Over the course of two days, you will experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Real-life examples of social innovation initiated by local people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The power of cooperation, bringing together civil society organisations, businesses, and municipalities around one table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Inspiration and contacts that you can immediately apply in your own work or community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat have previous participants said?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nThe study trip broadened my horizons and developed my thinking about how to plan and implement initiatives. It reinforced the understanding that when something seems impossible, the real task is simply to figure out how it can be done.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nAn excellent opportunity to broaden your horizons and meet enthusiasts in the field. It gave me faith and motivation to keep going. Social entrepreneurship gives space to breathe.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nRecognition is often forgotten and becomes taken for granted, which leads to burnout among community leaders. This study trip motivates, supports, and reflects back to you \u2013 showing how inspiring, dedicated, caring, and hardworking you are, and how important you are to your community.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nThe Social Innovation Study Trip was a truly human opportunity to step out of everyday routines and experience two days of inspiring meetings and visits with positive and inspiring people.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat lies ahead?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOver two days, we will travel together by bus from Rakvere through communities in Eastern Estonia. We will visit initiatives born from cross-sector collaboration \u2013 youth-led initiatives, partnerships between businesses and local organisations, and joint community ventures. The study trip will conclude back in Rakvere. Transportation costs to Rakvere are the responsibility of each participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The full programme will be announced later, as part of the experience lies in discovery. What we can promise, however, is that the meetings will introduce you to people whose stories have already inspired many others. The themes covered will include education, animal welfare, creativity, the future, tourism, internal security, projects, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the evening, we will gather for a joint reflection session to make sense of what we have seen and heard. These discussions form the true value of the study trip \u2013 when experiences begin to connect with your own work and the challenges faced by your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nApply for the study trip today!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe aim of the study trip is to bring together a diverse group of participants \u2013 people with different experiences, professional backgrounds, and perspectives who can learn from one another. Participation is therefore based on an application process, and up to 25 participants<\/strong> will be selected. Priority will be given to those who have not previously taken part in a study trip, but the opportunity is open to everyone.
The application deadline is 22 February.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
