Estonian House in Narva
Conditioned by its location, the College also acts as an Estonian language and culture information centre. The structural unit dealing with these issues is called Estonian House in Narva. The Centre organizes exhibitions, public lectures, provides its visitors with information about citizenship and Estonian language state exams. The Centre also aims at supporting the transition to bilingual, partly Estonian-language teaching in Russian-language schools starting from the academic year 2007/2008.
