Indian Culture Evening in Haapsalu
Newcomers in Haapsalu Meet Indian Culture, Traditions and Inspiring Integration Stories Indian Culture Evening invites participants to discover new perspectives, make meaningful connections and experience India’s vibrant cultural heritage.
Bridges between cultures are built through direct experience and dialogue. As part of the integration project, a special and inclusive event, “Indian Culture Evening,” will take place on Wednesday, June 17.
We welcome our project’s target group (new immigrants aged 18 and older, people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and returnees) to the Rannarootsi Museum. Participants can draw inspiration from stories of successful adaptation and intercultural cooperation.
This is a practical and engaging evening aimed at supporting social networking among people with a migration background who have arrived in Haapsalu.
We will be joined by the NGO Indian Estonian Women Sõprus, led by its founder Pooja Kohli. In addition to India’s rich cultural heritage, they will share their personal experiences of adapting to Estonia, building a community, and contributing to local society.
The event provides a safe environment for creating new connections through shared activities.
Participants can try on a traditional Indian sari, experience the art of henna, learn Bollywood dance steps and enjoy authentic Indian flavours.
It is a place to break the ice, build bridges between people of different migration backgrounds. It also helps participants build new social connections in Haapsalu.
