Modern Lifestyle – Being the Smith of Your Own Fortune comes from a saying: Igaüks on oma õnne sepp! In a world of crafting our own destinies in a fast-paced landscape, it's fitting to draw inspiration from Estonia - a small nation synonymous with innovation, resilience, and progress. Estonians have mastered how to combine innovation within our everyday life, making it a testament to the transformative power of embracing change, nevertheless, taking care of our heart, soul and heritage at the same time!  

Estonia's journey from a post-Soviet state to a global leader in digital governance and entrepreneurship is a testament to its people's determination and forward-thinking mindset. Within our meetup, we will have a look into how Estonia leads innovation and entrepreneurship - how to change the landscape by keeping social impact, nature and people in the center of it all. Within our two days, we will experience a small but rich culture: from bogs and forest, black bread and kohuke, up to Kaerajaan and language full of letter like õ, ä, ö, ü!  

As we explore the facets of modern lifestyle and personal empowerment, lets draw inspiration and step into the shoes of estonians. Here, individuals are encouraged to forge their paths, pursue their passions, and leverage the tools of the digital age to carve out their destinies. We do all of that keeping our heritage and culture in mind, taking maximum of the nature and natural options we have, doing it with love and respect!
