Tehnopol soovitab: Station Narva 2025 Future Day

This year’s Future Day turns its attention to the creative sector – a field that connects culture, entrepreneurship and education, links communities, and offers new skills and employment opportunities. Future Day gives voice to those who have brought Ida-Virumaa’s industrial landscapes into the orbit of the international film industry, amplified young voices in the media, created bands and brands that resonate across Estonia and beyond, and demonstrated that creativity is not merely a hobby or aesthetic pursuit, but the key to the future.

We’ll also celebrate the first jubilee of Narva Art Residency (NART) and the 10th anniversary of the British Council's "People to People" programme.
