Estonians are part of our society and a united Estonian family, no matter where they live. Identity, language and culture can be preserved even while living abroad, and there are many opportunities for this. The more people there are who associate themselves with Estonia in one way or another, the stronger we all are together.
The state supports the continuation of Estonian culture and language learning abroad as well as the continuity of Estonian communities. We also offer counseling and subsidies for settling in Estonia: an Estonian and his family are always welcome here.
