Whether you identify as a super esto like Tom (see the video 😉) or just like to put copious amounts of dill on your food – you are Estonian enough and Eesti Elu is for you.
Maybe you didn’t go to the summer camps, the estonian kindergarten and school growing up. Maybe you just remember the taste of pirukad your grandma used to make. Or perhaps you are only getting curious about your heritage now that you’re having kids on your own. No matter where you are in your journey, we want to be alongside you.Â
Every week we share stories from real people. How someone is discovering Estonian culture through their husband or learning Estonian lullabies without speaking the language. What’s it like moving to Estonia as a Canadian in their 20s or 50s.Â
There is no barrier of entry, no level of Estonianness to reach to relate to these stories. You’re already one of us.
Who we are
Eesti Elu is the voice of the Estonian community across Canada and around the world – a weekly publication sharing stories, culture, history and events that keep us connected. We publish unique perspectives from Estonians across the globe and local community stories you won’t find anywhere else.
