High School Study Abroad in Estonia

Estonia offers a unique perspective on diplomatic relations. This small country between Russia and northern Europe has achieved political and economic progress in a short period—largely due to its diplomacy. From the country’s capital, Tallinn, get ready for an inside look at the day-to-day tasks of diplomats! Meet local public officials and tour international organizations promoting peace, like cyber defense hubs and international security agencies. Engage in negotiation simulations and try out conflict resolution strategies. Work with other Global Navigators to identify international security threats and propose a peace-building initiative putting diplomacy into practice. Enjoy the city’s charm too, from the medieval Old Town to the Baroque Kadriorg Palace and the Port of Tallinn, the largest seaport in the Baltic Sea. Explore trendy districts like Kalamaja, soak in the beach vibes of Pirita, and meet local teens. On excursions, discover other coastal cities, like Pärnu and Kuressaare. Every part of your adventure will grant you a window into the Estonian way of life and valuable insights into a career as a diplomat.
