From 4 to 6 November, representatives of the Estonian Ministry of Culture and UNESCO will be in Namibia to discuss the continuation of cooperation between film and creative industries and the search for new cooperation opportunities in sports. The visit will focus on film education, culture and the creative sector, as well as sharing Estonia's experience in the field of sports ethics and data-driven sports management.

This year, Estonia will participate in the European Union Film Festival in Namibia for the first time, where the film "Long Papers" will be screened. The film screening will be opened by Deputy Secretary General of the Ministry of Culture Raido Mitt.

Experts from the Baltic Film, Media and Arts School of Tallinn University will contribute to workshops for local filmmakers together with the Namibian Film Commission. The aim is also to develop long-term cooperation in film education.

During the visit, meetings are planned with the Namibian Ministry of Education, Youth, Innovation, Sports, Arts and Culture and the delegation of the European Union. In the field of sports, Estonia wishes to introduce the use of the sports register as a basis for decisions and funding, and to share experiences on the topics of sports ethics and the professional qualifications of coaches.

The cooperation between the two countries began through the national commissions of UNESCO and has included cultural heritage, creative industries, digital solutions and youth creative hackathons. As a next step, a study visit of the Namibian delegation to Estonia is planned, focusing on film and creative industries.
