MõistmisFEST invites you to meet, listen and understand
On 11 July, MõistmisFEST – Meet, Listen, Understand will take place at Paide Vallimägi.
MõistmisFEST is a community event supporting integration, creating a meeting place for Estonians and people of other nationalities. The aim of the festival is to bring people together to share experiences, cultures and stories, and to reflect together on how to adapt and find one’s place in a new environment.
Visitors can enjoy discussions, practical workshops, various activities and a diverse cultural programme. During the evening, cultural groups will perform, and Gunnar Laanejõe and Alessandro Minimo will present a musical performance combining live saxophone and EDM.
The programme also includes a panel discussion on how to adapt to a new environment and find one’s place. The discussion will be moderated by film director Aljona Suržikova.
The evening will end with performances by Púr Múdd and Grete Paia.
Doors open at 17:30. The event starts at 18:00.
Admission is free.
