IPPNW-Students Estonia: Reports

2004

The Estonian student group has flourished in the past years, contributing to the European Student Scene by attending congresses all over Europe and organizing projects within their own country. In September, they joined Russian, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish students in an IPPNW conference in Aaland. In November, the group from Tartu University visited a Reception Center for Asylum Seekers and joined the IFMSA meeting in Budapest in December. In February, they met with IPPNW and SCORP students in Helsinki, Finland and with other IFMSA students in Venezuela in March. Through seminars at the university, they were able to promote IPPNW and attract new members. With meetings twice a month, an exhibition on landmines is planned for the future, as is a participation in the Finnish Peace Test.

2005

The Estonian students actively participated in all European Student Conferences of the last years, including St. Petersburg and seem to be very motivated in this regard. Cooperation with IFMSA amongst the students is high, to a point where we have to worry about similar situations as in the Netherlands or the UK, where students don’t see a point in IPPNW activity at all. As of now, though, students are still motivated and even organized a Target Tallin on August 9th, Nagasaki-Day.
