Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am working as freelancer for Arbeit und Leben in Hamburg/Germany, a youth
and adult political education institution, supported by the German
Federation of Trade Unions and the German Associations of Adult Education.
Attached you will find some more Information about Arbeit und Leben.
I am planning an educational leave (Bildungsurlaub) in Tallinn this year
from 16.to 20. September. Please excuse that I write so late.
We are 16 people altogether. They are adult employees, who are interesting
in political and historical matters. The seminar will deal with the
political situation in Estonia today especially under the impression of the
Russian attack against Ukraine and the threat to the Baltic countries. We
are interested in the political ideas of Estonia. So, I want to ask you, if
it could be possible that you will provide us an insight into Estonia's
vaunted digitalisation policy. The best day for us is Friday the 20.9.2024.
I would be obliged if could arrange a meeting!
Other topics of the seminar will be the historical situation in Estonia
under German occupation and Russian power. In addition, we will learn about
the life of the Jewish community in Tallinn before World War II and today
I really hope that I do not attack you with my requests.
It will be very kind if you can support us.
Thank you very much!
Yours sincerely
Michael Grill

_____
We are a youth and adult political education institution that is supported
by the German Federation of Trade Unions and the German Associations of
Adult Education.
It was the common will of both partners to improve the standing of further
education for workers and employees in society and at the workplace and to
support the democratic reconstruction after 1945.
With its regional organisations in each of the federal states and
approximately 150 local and regional institutions organised together under
the umbrella of the national committee, ARBEIT UND LEBEN (WORK AND LIFE) is
present nationwide and reaches approximately 300 000 youth and adults each
year.
The national committee looks after the political interests of advancing
further education for ARBEIT UND LEBEN at the national level, is active in
politically promoting the interests of its members, and offers its expertise
in generating a fresh impetus to political education through innovative
projects nationwide.
We want to contribute to organising WORK and LIFE according to the premises
of social justice, equal opportunity, and solidarity with the aim of
creating a democratic culture of participation.
Through our educational offers, we want to create opportunities to impart
knowledge to people, to promote critical thinking in forming opinions and in
decision-making, and to foster social participation.
Didactically and methodologically our work focuses on people’s interests as
well as on their everyday life and living conditions. Our educational offers
are directed toward the following groups:
* employees
* trainees
* unemployed persons
* migrants
* senior citizens
* youth and young adults
* works councils and workplace representatives
We also address youth and adults who are considered to be educationally
disadvantaged because of their specific living and working conditions. Our
courses and activities are open to all interested persons.
We organise and accompany learning processes through workshops, seminars,
international meetings, local initiatives and projects that focus on the
following topics:
* work and education
* economy and social development
* migration and integration
* communication and the media
* civil society and politics
* co-determination and participation
* European development processes
* globalisation and sustainability
We also develop and offer additional formats and topics in collaboration
with groups and cooperation partners.
We improve our work through a continual process of revision, adaptation, and
quality development through activities designed to assure quality management
in education.
Gender-mainstreaming is implemented in the planning and realisation and in
structuring the work, organisation and personnel development activities.
We are dedicated to maintaining and expanding political education at the
national, federal state and local levels and to ensuring that all people
have access to further education. To do so, all employees must have the
right to an educational work leave.
