Overview
As the scientists found out, the Finno-Ugric peoples have inhabited the European continent for around ten thousand years. Mainly, they live in the territory of Estonia, Russia, Finland, and Hungary. How these countries are connected?
During the Introduction to Estonia and Finno-Ugric Cultures and Nations workshop at Tallinn University, participants will study how the Hungarians, Finns, Estonians, Sami, Komi, Mansi, and many other Finno-Ugric nations are related to each other, how they settled so far from each other, and what are the roots of their origin.
