Young researchers, university students at all study levels and high school students whose research focuses on the analysis of cultural and social phenomena are welcome to participate at the annual spring conference “Young Voices”. We are looking forward to presentations that discuss either traditional culture or the functioning of a new digital society, addressing themes from oral history to contemporary applications of heritage. One of the aims of the conference is to stimulate young researchers to exchange ideas on the topics related to anthropology, ethnology, folklore and cultural heritage. The conference will be held in a hybrid format on April 21-22, 2021 at the Estonian Literary Museum (if the COVID-19 regulations allow gathering on location) and online.
 
The conference gives an opportunity to present your topic(s) to a wider audience. Each speaker will have 20 minutes to present current problems in their field of research and an additional 10 minutes for questions and discussion. The event is open to both completed research as well as projects in their early stages, and accepts traditionally academic as well as innovative and digital presentations. Papers in Estonian and in English are welcome.
 
If you are interested, please send the abstract of your presentation (up to 250 words) and your contact information (name, place of work or place of study and study program, email, phone number) via https://forms.gle/92YLYEwmC3P5rK448 by March 15, 2020.
 
We are waiting for an abundance of inspiring participants!
