Inimesed
Podcast Description
In this podcast we talk to people in and around Estonia about how they communicate with each other. We go into families, workplaces, schools, local communities, public spaces and businesses to discuss their cultures of conversation, participation and decision-making.
How do people talk about issues that matter to them? Or issues that create tensions in communities or society at large? What are the conditions for real, genuine conversation? Or how do people communicate with strangers? These and other questions are at the heart of this podcast.
The Estonian word 'inimesed' means 'people'. Do you have any ideas, questions or suggestions for the guests? Or do you have a story you would like to tell yourself about? Please contact us at [email protected]

Every year, around 10,000 people gather for two days in the Estonian town of Paide for the Arvamusfestival. At the festival they take part in more than 200 public discussions, debates and dialogues. The Estonian word ‘arvamus’ means ‘opinion’. But this festival is about much more than opinions. It is a true festival of democracy, predominantly organised in the Baltic and Nordic regions of Europe.
In this episode, the host Bart Cosijn gives you an impression of this festival and talks to visitors, speakers and organisers. He interviews Kristina Mänd, senior Expert on e-Democracy at the Estonian e-Governance Academy. Ross Allen, the British Ambassador to Estonia. And Kaspar Tammist, the festival’s leader from 2019 to 2024.
