The Sami languages are thriving. In Finland, we can also talk about the status and integration of the Karelians and Ingrians. What can Estonia learn from this? The perspectives of Finno-Ugric minorities in Russia in terms of self-awareness, identity, and language proficiency were discussed. Also, the concept of decolonization including in the Russian context was explored.<\/p><p>Photos can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/fennougria\/albums\/72177720328324778\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>The panel can be seen below.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Arvamusfestival 9.08.2025  &quot;Lo\u0303imumise edulood ja erinevad kogemused Soome, Norra ja Venemaa n\u00e4itel&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KwSLHQFmINo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><div class=\"my-12 my-md-16 px-4 pt-6 border-primary-top content-section\">\r\n    \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-links\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/arvamusfestival.ee\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paide Opinion Festival 2025<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cultural diversity panel took place on 9 August from 6 to 7.30 p.m. Fenno-Ugria panel &#8220;Success stories and different experiences of integration in Finland, &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":70612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1096],"tags":[3787,3242,3397,3672,3252],"class_list":["post-70655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-3787","tag-fenno-ugria-en","tag-finno-ugric-peoples-en","tag-opinion-festival-en","tag-saami-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
