With these few words of my very bad Russian, I would like to start writing about my internship here in Tallinn. They became more representative of my whole experience, than one might think.\u00a0The more time I spent at the Ukrainian Cultural Center, the more I wanted to dive into the culture of the people here. Russian, in fact, is not exactly the right thing, because most of the people here are Ukrainians or Estonians. I decided to take the three-week intense course in Russian anyway. In the end it really doesn\u2019t matter – if you spend time here you just want to leave your comfort zone and experience something new.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can I say? The Ukrainian Cultural Center (UKK) is amazing. Today you could call it a hipster’s place, but it is far more than that. I came\u00a0here after finishing my Bachelor\u2019s degree in Graphic Design to work as an intern for Tallinna Paber, which is closely connected to the center. My main tasks were preparing designs for letterpress print on handmade paper, product photography, developing a new website for UKK, and everything else that came up. It helped me strengthen my skills in the “classical\u201c design world before concentrating on my passion for moving images in my Master\u2019s degree.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Everything else that came up\u201c could also mean baking bread ;-)<\/p>\n

In addition to the beautiful medieval surroundings of Tallinn’s Old Town, the extremely inspiring people, and Anatoli\u2019s storytelling during lunch-time, there is one more thing which made this place very special to me: The deep appreciation for everything you come up with, whether it be some art or cultural project, or simply\u00a0a delicious meal. When I presented\u00a0the idea of making an animation as a personal art project, I immediately received\u00a0great support from every side. Anatoli provided me with some additional illustrations. He made sure to call a lot of people to have a look at my work in every stage of the process. This is something I rarely experienced in the strict working environments in Germany.<\/p>\n
