Overall, the Creative Europe Desk ESTONIA action plan, despite the COVID19 situation, has been implemented with clear outcomes and outputs in line with the main objective of the call. The activities implemented were moved online using Zoom platform as a main tool to organise events, meetings, conferences and to experiencing audiovisual content covering succesfully each sub-sector (Culture and Media). The 2 EE offices have been working in close cooperation developing a very easy and informal way of communication. The staff of the desks meets regularly in order to discuss common actions or to plan events. The Culture office was active in promoting information about the Programme among relevant stakeholders answering questions via phone and email on a daily basis. The MEDIA Office mostly organised one to one meetings with potential participants in order to improve the quality of applications submitted to Creative Europe Programme (CEP). Furthermore, the team have actively collaborated with the with Baltic and Balkan Desks in order to promote local small MEDIA supported films and made available the online screening in the participating countries. For promotion and communication, the Desk continued the implementation of its communication and dissemination strategy throughout its media channels (Facebook, Instagram, official website). In addition, they made a good use of both online (newsletters) and printed material (newspaper/leaflet, brochures). It is worth mentioning that CED Estonia created an online platform named “Loov Euroopa kultuuri silmaringi TV” (https://www.looveuroopa.ee/kultuur/loov-euroopa-kultuuri-silmaringi-tv/) which helped experts across Europe coping with the COVID-19 situation in the culture sector. The budget is efficient and coherent with the action plan. What were the strong points?  The DESK has been able to implement its work plan despite COVID19 pandemic situation  The new and updated CREATIVE EUROPE Desk Estonia website (www.looveuroopa.ee)  CED Estonia created an online platform named “Loov Euroopa kultuuri silmaringi TV” (https://www.looveuroopa.ee/kultuur/loov-euroopa-kultuuri-silmaringi-tv/)  Synergie events were organised  Good quality of the products/materials produced by the CED.  Online and printed dissemination of the brochures within the Culture sub-programme What were the weak points?
