Many carry decades of specialized knowledge or fascinating stories and pursuits, often just waiting for an invitation to share them. That invitation, for volunteer contributions, is open right now.
Consider the depth added by just a few of our contributors. Hillar Lauri has offered readers thoughtful reflections on life in Estonia and cultural figures, while also exploring news topics like Estonia’s evolving culinary status and growth as a coffee nation. Kadri Tüür guides readers through the nuances of the Estonian language and idioms in her “Language Detective” column. Mihkel Jürima has led readers through the Panama Canal, his time teaching in Japan, and an Ontario sculpture gallery.
If you have a broad range of interests, there’s no need to limit that. In her articles, Dr. Daiga Helmeste demonstrates her academic curiosity in covering topics from ancient Estonian clothing analyzed through archaeology to film festivals, fine art, and the research of young scientists.
Cross-cultural perspectives also enrich our coverage. Sybil Tong has written candidly about discovering Estonian culture through her husband, offering a valuable viewpoint as a Hong Konger and Canadian.
All you need is a subject (or many) that you care about and a desire to communicate about it… Your perspective belongs here.
In addition to writing, photography remains a cornerstone of how we document and celebrate our experiences. Peeter Põldre regularly shares sharp photography, whether on-location at community events or while travelling to places like Alaska and Buenos Aires, offering technical advice to help readers refine their camera work. Toomas Kald captures the action and momentum of sports, combining that with written reports from events like the RBC Canadian Open.
All you need is a subject (or many) that you care about and a desire to communicate about it. Estonian-language and English-language submissions are both welcome. Your perspective belongs here.
If this sounds interesting to you, send your articles, ideas, or photographs to digitaleditor@eestielu.ca. We look forward to reading and viewing your contributions.
