20.03.2009

President Toomas Hendrik Ilves received the 15-member team of the Back to School team, in order to thank them for a successful initiative.

In February, during the Back to School project, 687 people went to 167 schools to give lessons and share their work and life experiences with the students. Each of the participants will receive a thank you letter from President Ilves.

“The Back to School initiative is one of the most positive recent undertakings in Estonia,” President Ilves said. He also expressed hope that during the next few years the number of participants will increase even further.

Those who gave lessons in February included Gerd Kanter, Rein Rannap, Indrek Neivelt, Vahur Kraft, Mihkel Raud, Katrin Karisma, Andrus Kivirähk and many others.

The Back to School project was initiated by the President of the Republic and the Youth to School Foundation. Its objective is to strengthen cooperation between Estonia’s schools and the rest of society.
