Team Tornado video from the time in Estonia

Case studies

Case 1

Jessica (20) is an exchange student from Cuba. Last year she started her IT studies in Tallinn Technical University, Estonia. Back home Jessica was an extremely active young lady. Her hobbies were singing, football and charity projects. To find new friends in Estonia, Jessica decided to join a local football club. From the very beginning everybody stared at her because of her exotic appearance. Always sunny Jessica decided not to pay attention to the strange behaviour of the team mates. Unfortunately things became worse. The football team mates started to insult Jessica by using rude vocabulary, and they started to ignore her at training. Jessica is very unhappy and does not know what to do.

• What should Jessica and others do to be accepted to the team?

Case 2

Riina and Georg’s daughter Mari is studying abroad. Mari was born when her parents were not in the first youth. They are retired by now and have always been very conservative. The farthest trips they have ever made were to Latvia. They talk to Mari approximately once a month on phone and are happy about their daughter as it seems she likes studying there and is satisfied with her life. They never ask extra questions. But Mari has fallen in love with a Japanese guy. They have known each other for two years by now and have decided to come to Estonia together to see Mari’s parents. Unfortunately, Mari does not know how to present this news to her parents because she is absolutely convinced it will be very difficult for them to accept her Japanese boyfriend. Therefore she has put it off to tell her parents that there are two of them coming.

• What are Mari’s opportunities to solve the problem?

Case 3

Adanya is a five-year-old girl living in Estonia with her parents. She is really black and very different from Estonian kids. Her father’s name is Ola and her mother is called Folami. They are Nigerians. Her father has got a job here in Estonia. But her mother is still unemployed. Adanya has been to an Estonian kindergarten for nine months by now. She understands quite a lot what her playmates tell her in Estonian and she can even speak Estonian a little. She is a friendly girl and gets on well with her playmates and in the kindergarten everybody wants to play with her. She was very happy until the day she heard everybody discussing a birthday party they had taken part in. The first time she did not realise she had been the only one who had not been invited. From there on she heard about the fascinating birthday parties in fancy places almost every month. She became sad and did not want to play with the children. Finally kindergarten teachers found her crying alone in her bed because of that.

• How could people around Adanya help her?

Four musketeers and the princess

Hi !   Four musketeers and the princess

Today was intresting day. With all the groups we went to hiking and turning that we saw green and white lakes. After we walked into the woods we had a delicious picnic. Then we went to Asylum center to visit people who are applying Estonian citizenships for them and their families.

At the end of the day we had a lot of fun in Aqua waterpark.

 

The Cereal Killers

Teemu - I`m having a great time with my teammates. We did a lot of fun activates together. For example today we went sightseeing and swimming.

Riina - I met a lot of interesting people today in Asylum center. And I also found out that one of the ex-asylum seekers is my dad`s co-worker. So there is nothing impossible, you just need to work for it.

Gunnar - I really enjoyed the day in Estonia. I got to know plenty of awesome people and take part in amazing activities. It was very interesteing to see the accommodation in the Asylum center. I just wish this project would last longer than three days.

Vineta - It was really eye opening to see how Asylum seekers live in Estonia and what living conditions they have. I had a great experiece comunicating with foreigners who came from Sudan and are able to speak russian. 

Raminta - It was so fun today climbing in the tower and hiking aroud the lakes. But most of all I enjoyed the visit to the Accomodation center and having a chance just to talk with them.

The second day. Team Tornado

Today we, Team Tornado, we were hiking somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Estonia :)

We saw a lot of things during this trip, a lot of trees, green and white lakes and went up a big tower which is the highest point of North-Estonia. Then we went to a fish farm that also has a big, fluffy seal :)

Later on we went to visit an Accommodation Centre for Asylum Seekers in a forest near the Jaama village. There we got a lot of information about people searching for asylums.

Then we went to the AQVA spa and had a lot of fun there.We were swimming, talking, sauning, sliding, laughing :) Some people missed that and now they have small depression and we are not joking now :( (Anastasiia and Sigmar (c))

We can't  wait for tomorrow!!! xD Case studies and especially bowling and pizzaaaaaaa.This night everybody should practice their singing O_o
