ECMI Workshops on Integration in Estonia and Latvia


I. 

The European Centre for Minority Issues has published the Report # 18: 

Vadim Poleshchuk, "Social Dimension of Integration in Estonia and
Minority Education in Latvia", ECMI Workshops "Social Dimension of
Integration in Estonia" 19-21 October 2001, Pärnu, Estonia and
"Prospects of Minority Education in Latvia" 1-4 November 2001,
Daugavpils, Latvia. December 2001, 32 pp., appendix.

The recent ECMI workshops were focussed on education reforms in Latvia
and language policy in Estonia. These are the two principal tools used
by Estonian and Latvian authorities to promote society integration.
However, local minorities and international community have repeatedly
expressed their concerns regarding practical methods of using these
tools. 

The report is available in Internet at
