OUR MEETING BEGAN ON APRIL 7TH WITH A BUS AND OLD TOWN TOUR
The day started with a comfortable bus ride through the city, during which our guide provided insightful commentary about Tallinn's history and culture. We passed by the beautiful Kadriorg Park, catching glimpses of its well-kept gardens and the baroque palace built by Peter the Great. Our next stop was the iconic Song Festival Grounds, where the guide introduced us to the unique tradition of the Estonian Song Festival and shared moving stories about the Singing Revolution. This powerful and peaceful movement was crucial to Estonia’s path to independence.
After the bus tour, we continued on foot through Tallinn’s enchanting Old Town. We wandered along cobbled streets lined with colorful medieval buildings, explored hidden courtyards, and visited notable landmarks such as the Town Hall Square, St. Olaf’s Church, and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. On Toompea Hill, we enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views over the red rooftops and the Baltic Sea in the distance.
Throughout the tour, our guide brought the city’s past to life with fascinating stories and anecdotes, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The group appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and the chance to discover Tallinn's charm together. After the tour and a refreshing lunch, we headed to the Estonian Public Broadcasting (ERR) building.
We had the opportunity to visit the news house, the radio house, and the television house. At the television house, we were welcomed by Kristel Maran, the HR manager of ERR, who gave us a wonderful tour. We had the opportunity to explore various departments, including radio, television, and the (online) news portal. We were grateful for the opportunity to learn about Estonian public broadcasting and the development of ERR, as well as to gain valuable insight into its current operations and the challenges faced by modern public broadcasters.We visited the television studio and also looked through the newsroom and the Klassikaraadio (classic radio) studios, which recently celebrated their 30th anniversary.The visit began with a short introduction, after which Anvar Samost, Head of News, spoke with the young participants about the news production process. At the television house, we were welcomed by the famous film producer Jaak Tammearu, who gave us a wonderful tour.
WELCOME TO HIIUMAA GÜMNAASIUM
The students of Hiiumaa welcomed the guests with a song. After all, the best way to say ‘welcome’ is through music.
ART & IT WORKSHOP
As part of the project, a board game was developed that is closely connected to the project’s theme. The game not only encourages interaction but also helps younger participants understand the rules, responsibilities, and safe practices of the digital world.
In creating the game, art, language, and IT were successfully integrated, making the process both educational and creative.
Students also took part in a 3D printing workshop, where the game pieces were designed and printed using a 3D printer, adding a practical and innovative dimension to the project.

LEARNING THROUGH CREATIVITY
We introduced our project to 6th and 7th grade students and asked them to draw pictures. These drawings were turned into a small exhibition, giving the students an opportunity to express their creativity. Through this activity, and thanks to our project, the students not only showcased their artistic talents but also became more aware of the rules, opportunities, and challenges of the digital world.
DIGITAL IDENTITY, HATE SPEECH, AND CRITICAL THINKING
THE PROJECT ENDING CEREMONY
Alice in Digi-land was more than a project – it was our shared journey into the depths of the digital world. Through cooperation between three countries, we learned to observe, to create, and to reflect. Curiosity led us into the labyrinth, but collaboration and courage brought us back stronger, more aware, and more connected.
We are thankful to everyone who took part – this journey was truly special.
