From 14 to 21 July 2018, the Kaldavere Holiday Centre and Parmu Eco-Village Centre in Valga County host the International Woodworking Camp. The camp is dedicated to the centenary of the Republic of Estonia as well as to the 100^th anniversary of the birth of Ants Viires, a prominent Estonian ethnologist and cultural historian. The woodworking camp welcomes both international attendees looking to learn about Estonian cultural heritage and Estonians with a desire to learn the old folkways.

The camp will consist of various two-day workshops introducing Estonian folk woodworking. Master woodworkers will be on hand to share the knowledge and skills they have amassed over the years. The week-long programme will also feature shorter workshops with a more indirect link to the theme of trees and forests. Participants will visit the Estonian National Museum’s collection of wood and a conference devoted to Viires, and experience life in a local eco-village in scenic southern Estonia. We invite you to discover what the camp has to offer and register as soon as you can!
