Minister of Culture Heidy Purga has extraordinarily allocated half a million euros for 2026 to support cooperation between culture and education. With the additional funding, the institutions in the area of administration of the Ministry of Culture can offer free cultural visits to schools in order to continue to support the organisation of cultural education study visits related to the national curriculum.

With the help of a one-off extraordinary grant, 34 institutions in the area of government of the Ministry of Culture with long-term experience in education will be able to offer free cultural education study trips to more than 54,000 students in grades 1–12 across Estonia. This means that approximately 30 per cent of Estonian students will have the opportunity to take at least one free cultural education study trip as part of their school studies this year.
