How to survive in the winter wilderness with NATO's battlegroup Estonia 🇪🇪
15 Mar 2023
NATO
If you find yourself stranded in the winter wilderness, how do you survive? This is an eventuality the UK troops that make up part of NATO’s multinational battlegroup in Estonia – with the United Kingdom as framework nation – train for on the Cold Weather Operator’s Course, which takes place every year in Estonia. This NATO battlegroup also includes contributions from other NATO Allies, including Denmark, France and Iceland. As part of the course, the soldiers must spend two nights in the Estonian forest learning how to build camps, make fires and find food and water. The course helps the soldiers adjust to different climates and terrains and makes sure they’re ready to operate in cold winter conditions. Here, chief instructor Colour Sergeant Sykes of the UK Royal Marines gives his top tips for anyone thinking of heading out into the winter wilderness. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬SUBSCRIBE to this channel http://bit.ly/NATOsubscribeSUBSCRIBE to NATO News http://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribeSUBSCRIBE to NATO History http://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribeConnect with NATO online:Visit the Official NATO Homepage: http://bit.ly/NATOhomepageReceive NATO updates via email: http://bit.ly/NATOemailsFind NATO on FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/NATOfacebookFollow @NATO on TWITTER: http://bit.ly/NATOtwitterFollow NATO on Instagram: http://bit.ly/NATOinstagramFind NATO on LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/NATOlinkedinFind NATO on Flickr: http://bit.ly/NATOflickr#NATO #OTAN #WeAreNATO

Economic Situation in the Baltics: The Highest Inflation in the EU & the Impact for SMEs in Estonia
20 Dec 2022
SME Europe
A country with the highest inflation in the EU, Estonia, the baltic tiger, laboratorium for innovation as a digital state is under pressure. What is the cost of the highest inflation rate in the EU being next door to Russia? Is it an alarming signal for the EU? Estonia has been a centre for the common European single market and a driver for business-ideas, especially for start-ups and digitalisation. The country where Skype was created, the start-ups such as Bolt, TransferWise etc. have followed… But now, the picture could change due to common challenges: According to inflation statistics, 2022 has been a painful year for financial markets following a worldwide increase in inflation. In countries where the food and beverage industries constitute a large part of the economy, the rising prices caused by inflation have influenced daily life and forced low-income consumers to reduce spending on other goods, thereby slowing economic growth. In Estonia it is a major concern for SMEs to continue their activities and threatens their survival. A new action plan for SMEs is needed. Questions which we want to tackle in our debate: How the energy costs have been influencing the producers and labour market? How do the Estonians feel it and what is their plan to survive the coming winter and coming years?

Keynote Speaker: Mart Laanpere, Professor of the Centre for Educational Technology, Tallinn University and EDEN DLE Management Board Member Topic: Building the Digital Education Ecosystem in Estonia, in cooperation between universities, ministry and private sector Abstract: Estonia is a small, but digitally innovative country. We have been No.1 in Europe when it comes to public digital services (DESI 2018-2021), but also in readiness for digital lifelong learning (CEPS 2019). The foundation for this success helped our education system to cope with COVID-pandemic, but it is a result of a long-term systemic development. In this talk I’ll summarise the key strategies, results and future plans orelated to this continuing effort, focusing specifically on increasing the “smartness” and interoperability of online services for digital learning resources, e-assessment, digital competence development and digital pedagogy. Mart Laanpere is professor in mathematics and computing education in the Centre for Educational Technologies, Tallinn University, Estonia. He received MSc from the University of Twente (NL) and PhD from the Tallinn University. He was a co-founder and long time head of the Centre for Educational Technology in Tallinn University. His main focus in research is conceptual design and analysis of affordances of technology-enhanced learning systems and tools, digital competence modelling and assessment, among others. He is a co-author of national digital competence test and several informatics textbooks for upper-secondary schools. Mart was also member of the steering group for Estonian Lifelong Learning Strategy 2020 where he led the development of the action plan for Digital Turn in Schools. He has been contributing as an expert to various European initiatives related to modeling and assessment of digital competence (DigComp, DigCompEdu, DigCompOrg, SELFIE for Schools, SELFIE for Teachers). Mart has also been consulting digital education innovation programs in Georgia, Serbia and Moldova.

What it takes to create a music festival: Shiftworks (Estonia)
1 Mar 2022
European Investment Fund
Shiftworks is the company behind Tallinn Music Week (TMW), a festival held annually in the capital of Estonia since 2009. It has three main programmes: the music festival, conference and city festival. Throughout its work, Shiftworks seeks to use culture in service of society. This is their story. Culture essentially is a catalyst that triggers a variety of positive effects in the society, like innovation, free self-expression, jobs, and purpose. says the director of Shiftworks, Helen Sildna. At the EIF, we have a similar saying: Culture shapes today. 🎶 Creativity shapes tomorrow. 🎨 Entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative sectors enrich our lives, bringing together our past, present and future, through their passion and artistic expressions. This is why the European Union, together with the European Investment Fund, have launched a financing programme specifically designed to support European companies in the cultural and creative sectors. Supported through Finora Capital, Shiftwork is one of those companies. Check out what else we've done under the 🇪🇺 Creative & Cultural Sectors Guarantee Facility 🔗 http://engage.eif.org/ccs-impact-report/home/ More information: http://www.shiftworks.ee/ https://finoracapital.eu/ https://www.eif.org/ccs https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/finance-cultural-creative-sectors https://www.eif.org/what_we_do/efsi/index.htm #InvestEU

‘Putin is underestimating the strength of Ukrainians to fight for their freedom’ Kallas
24 Feb 2022
EU Reporter
Arriving at this evening’s special European Council on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas expressed her sadness that she should be witnessing an attack on Ukraine on the anniversary of Estonian independence. “Everything that was predicted actually happened, we hoped that it wasn’t going to happen, but it did. So we have to be very united on the European level, and we have to give a very strong signal,” she said. “So, of course, strong sanctions, which will have two effects: a deterring effect and a punishing effect making our adversary weaker.” Kallas also that that Putin was under estimating the strength of the Ukrainians to fight for their freedom and fight for their country. Kallas also said that she was thinking of more novel tools like Ukraine suing the Russian Federation for the damages that they have caused to the country so they can keep or withhold related payments.

Tallinn’s Climate Action Plan and methodology for calculating storm water fees at municipal level
30 Jun 2021
CINEA - European Com...
In the framework of LIFE UrbanStorm, a new methodology for calculating the fee for stormwater management services in Tallinn has been developed. The stormwater fee would help to improve the organising of the stormwater system and cover related investments. The methodology includes three possible alternative methodologies for Tallinn: “easy”, “medium”, “difficult”. The new Climate Action Plan has been developed for Tallinn to increase the readiness and capacity of Tallinn to adapt to the impacts of climate change through long-term decisions and spatial solutions and to prevent or limit damage caused by extreme weather events. It includes 27 measures divided between 8 areas – 1. Land use and planning, 2. Buildings, 3. Health, 4. Water management (drinking water), 5. Water management (stormwater), 6. Natural environment and biodiversity, 7. Transport infrastructure and mobility, 8. Climate change adaptation (awareness, legislation and monitoring). Both the stormwater fee and Climate Action Plan have been submitted to Tallinn City authorities for approval.

Winter soldiers | UK?? troops train in Estonia?? in freezing temperatures
16 Apr 2021
NATO
NATO forces need to be able to operate in any environment and in any weather. That’s why UK soldiers have been conducting cold weather training in Estonia, where temperatures can drop as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius. During Exercise Winter Camp, troops practised in deep snow and freezing conditions. UK troops also took part in a three-day cold weather operations course, learning how to build shelters and survive in conditions well below freezing – including a jump into icy water. The UK troops, from the 5 RIFLES infantry battalion, are serving in NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battlegroup in Estonia. All NATO eFP Battlegroup Estonia training for Winter Camp was conducted in line with Estonian national COVID-19 policy. The Battlegroup is currently operating as a ‘bubble’ in order to achieve maximum output from this training, while protecting personnel. Exercise Winter Camp 2021 ran from 1 until 12 February. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬SUBSCRIBE to this channel http://bit.ly/NATOsubscribeSUBSCRIBE to NATO News http://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribeSUBSCRIBE to NATO History http://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribeConnect with NATO online:Visit the Official NATO Homepage: http://bit.ly/NATOhomepageReceive NATO updates via email: http://bit.ly/NATOemailsFind NATO on FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/NATOfacebookFollow @NATO on TWITTER: http://bit.ly/NATOtwitterFollow NATO on Instagram: http://bit.ly/NATOinstagramFind NATO on LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/NATOlinkedinFind NATO on Flickr: http://bit.ly/NATOflickr#NATO #OTAN #WeAreNATO

The attack helicopters have practised integrating with multinational forces, participating in multiple exercises.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Estonia has reduced the scale of this year’s exercise and limited it to the central training grounds.
