International Cooperation Projects with Asian Countries

Peipsi Information Center is committed to promoting cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and social inclusion through strategic partnerships and collaborative projects with Asian countries. Our ongoing and planned initiatives are structured in phases, reflecting both past achievements and future goals.

Digital Presence and Virtual Participation in Cultural Events

To overcome physical distances and enhance cultural engagement, we are preparing to launch an innovative web application that will:

  • Enable real-time participation in cultural festivals and events from various parts of Asia.

  • Allow a global audience to interact with and directly experience cultural happenings.

  • Expand access to Asian cultural heritage through digital platforms.

Charity Mobile Application

To broaden our social mission on a global scale, we are developing a charity-focused mobile application that:

  • Enables users to make donations to individuals and communities in need.

  • Provides the ability to track the progress of supported initiatives.

  • Increases transparency and global participation in charitable activities.

Cultural Trips and Volunteer Exchanges

We have actively participated in cultural festivals across Asia and facilitated various cultural exchanges:

  • Established strong cooperation with local volunteers and communities.

  • Gained in-depth understanding of regional cultures through participation in events and site visits.

  • Organized educational and cultural trips for Estonian residents to promote intercultural learning and global citizenship.

Our projects actively involve volunteers from Cambodia, Thailand, and Bangladesh. We have also hosted cultural specialists from Cambodia and Thailand in Estonia, who have introduced their cuisine, languages, and traditions.

Charity and Cultural Exchange Projects

We have initiated several charitable cooperation projects with Asian countries aimed at:

  • Introducing the diversity of Asian cultures to Estonian society.

  • Sharing Estonian culture with Asian communities through events and volunteer exchanges.

  • Involving Asian volunteers in cultural and charitable programs to foster mutual respect and understanding.

Creation and Expansion of the Audioguide and Release of an Exclusive Postcard Collection

As part of the project, an audioguide featuring 24 points of interest in the Peipsi region was created, later expanded with 16 additional locations. In total, visitors can listen to 40 engaging stories that offer a deeper understanding and experience of the area. The audioguide is a perfect companion for both first-time visitors and locals eager to discover new places and hear unique stories.

In addition, an exclusive postcard collection will be released — a true dream for any collector. The postcards can be collected from various visitor centers, museums, libraries, and other locations across the Peipsi region. The collection is part of a prize game that encourages people to explore the area in a fun and interactive way.
