U-Turn NGO aims to realize humanistic ideals through concrete projects and actions. Currently, U-Turn is focused in two areas: 1) participation in the international Finno-Ugric movement, 2) Moderation of Estonia-Palestine Support Group on Facebook.
U-Turn NGO represents Estonia in MAFUN (Youth Association of Finno-Ugric peoples). In MAFUN, U-Turn has initiated several new international projects such as Finno-Ugric Branding Conference and Finno-Ugric Capitals of Culture and is spearheading reforms in the Finno-Ugric movement. U-Turn is also involved in advocacy for the pursuit of independence of the Palestinian people in Estonia. As part of this, U-Turn moderates an Estonia-Palestine Support Group on Facebook.
Whenever U-Turn joins a network, it is always an active participant. We would like to raise awareness of the Arab world and the Middle East in Estonia, including by showing the similarities and commonalities that our peoples possess. We are ready to (co-)organize conferences, seminars, exchange programs, work with the media and schools/universities.
U-Turn appreciates and supports the overall objectives of ALF in conducting a dialogue between Europe and the Middle East / Arab World. This kind of dialogue is crucial for ensuring a more tolerant and peaceful society in our lifetime.
