Impressions of the previous participants 2016
"It has been an absolutely amazing visit. The people and places I got to see is something that I will remember forever. I can definitely recommend this study visit to everyone with a journalistic interest and curiosity about the country."
"It's been two weeks since the trip and I still quote some of the stuff I learned to my colleagues and still think about some of the things that were so nice."
"I knew a fair amount of the material covered, but it was good to get the broader context and, above all, see everything with my own eyes (people, places, landscape, food)."
"As I decided to stay a week more, it's obvious that the project gave me the opportunity to report having a good overview of Estonian main issues and a small background to get better the situation. It was also the perfect opportunity to focus on the country what I wouldn't have been able to do without the project."
"How far Estonia got in the e-business (government, commerce) was a great insight. Also, how young, vibrant and upcoming Tallinn as a city is. And, the trip to Narva was very enlightening, because it showed the transition areas of the country and gave a great perspective on EU topics."
"It has also been extremely interesting to get to know more about the things that usually we don't see in postcards."
"Generally the program was very well organized and well balanced between different topics and impressions."
