February 07, 2024 • VEMU, EMW & Estonian Life • Season 3 • Episode 44

In a culturally diverse country such as Canada, we are blessed with having multiple cultures intermingle and work together, but it can also be hard to make your own cultural background stand out in this whole hodgepodge. Latvian-Estonian Elva Palo speaks about how she has allowed her cultural identity to shine, her positive outlook on a multicultural society and much more in this fresh episode!

In this episode of EstoCast, discover:

🌍 How Elva expresses her culturally diverse background

🌍 The benefits and difficulties of existing in a multicultural society

🌍 What can be done to keep smaller cultures and languages, such as Estonian and Latvian, relevant and strong within our communities

🌍 …and much more!
