The Department of Interior Architecture at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) is hosting an Erasmus+ BIP summer

school for 25 students as part of the 2026 Opinion Festival.

Opinion Festival is a meeting place for all layers of society, giving a platform for different worldviews. Its mission is to

improve debate culture and civic education. The festival is free of charge and open to everyone in Estonia and beyond

who would like to discuss and tackle issues that matter to all of us.

The summer school will be supervised by interior architect Päär Keedus, architect Johan Kirsimäe and artist Johannes

Säre. Foreign students’ travel costs are covered by either Erasmus+ short-term mobility scholarship or NBAA grant

(Baltic and Nordic students)

This year, the focus is on the festival’s food area in the Paide city square, where students will explore functional design

through construction of seating and lounging environments, weaving together wood with existing materials from the

festival’s warehouse.
