\u201cBad libraries build collections, good libraries build service; great libraries build communities,\u201d David Lankes, the Professor and Director of the School of Library & Information Science at the University of South Carolina, said. The Estonian diaspora has survived thanks to keeping together as a community. Estonian Museum Canada, which has been operating at Tartu College in Toronto since 2009, relies on these traditions. A paid team with volunteers and partners collects and makes historical heritage available and offers a diverse program so that:
– different generations of Estonians can maintain contact with their roots;
– the community stays connected;
– the contributions and experiences of diaspora Estonians can reach other national communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who need no introduction to Estonia, VEMU is the heart of the Estonian diaspora. VEMU unites all generations of Estonians. It is a meeting place, a place where old stories are told and new friends are made. It is a place you come to when you are ready to ask: \u201cWhere am I from?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who know nothing about Estonia, VEMU offers an opportunity to discover the courage and perseverance of a small nation, immerse yourself in the Estonian immigration experience and culture through events and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VEMU brings together people and cultures, ideas and talents in order to build a cohesive community. Over the course of the presentation, you will hear about how we do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
