Transforming the Learning Experience in Estonian-Language Studies
Modern education is at the brink of a transformative revolution, driven by the integration of cutting-edge technologies that could reshape the learning landscape. This is especially pertinent in the context of Estonian-language studies. The fusion of arts with technology not only makes the abstract tangible but also nurtures creative problem-solving and expression. While some similar methods have worked well in the past, there's still a lot of untapped potential in using new technologies for Estonian-language studies to improve a learning experience and sustainability. Through interactive challenges, collaborative brainstorming sessions, and dynamic hackathons, this shared endeavour envisions educational adventures as distinctive and diverse as the learners themselves.
The integration of emerging technologies into Estonian-language studies has the potential to revolutionise education. By embracing personalised learning, capitalising on innovative tools, and fostering collaboration, we embark on a journey that not only enhances the learning experience but also shapes the future of education in ways that were once unfathomable.

The Learning Experience
Challenge and goals
Participants are called to delve into the transformative potential of emerging technologies in the realm of Estonian-language studies. The primary objective is to harness these technologies to reshape and elevate the learning experience for students. Emphasis should be placed on infusing the integration of arts and technology to render complex concepts tangible, while fostering creative thinking and innovative problem-solving. Participants' efforts are expected to culminate in the creation of practical and innovative solutions that enhance the learning experience and sustainability of Estonian-language studies. These solutions should showcase a fusion of technological tools and creative pedagogical approaches, effectively bridging the gap between the abstract and the concrete. Tangible prototypes, interactive platforms, or digital resources that incorporate personalised learning and engage learners in a distinctive manner are anticipated outcomes.
Expectations and requirements for the solutions and participants
This isn't just about solutions – it's about forging pathways to enhanced learning outcomes and smoother Estonian-language integration. By joining this exchange of ideas, you're making a real difference in language learning and transitions.
