Tallinn is full of people with something to say, and on June 6th, we’re finally giving them the microphone. We’ve invited 13 people from across the world: from Buryatia and Udmurtia to Iran, Mexico, and Pakistan, who all call this city home. This isn’t a performance or a lecture; it’s just real people sharing the stories of how they got here, why they stayed, and how they changed along the way.
You’ll hear from a Syrian man who left everything behind during the civil war and found a sense of belonging in a corner of the world he never expected. You’ll meet a Chuvash man who grew up between languages, never thinking much of his roots until the moment he realized his children’s future depended on a language he had almost forgotten. There’s also the story of a Mexican doctor whose career path shattered in an instant, leading him on a journey through Ireland to Estonia—toward a life he never planned, but now wouldn’t trade for anything.
Along with these, there are ten more stories waiting to be told—stories you won't see coming.
Come listen. You might just recognize a piece of your own journey in someone else’s story.
