Global Estonian Cultural Days
Global Estonian Cultural Days (abbreviated ECD; Estonian: ülemaailmsed eesti kultuuripäevad, abbreviated ESTO) is Estonian culture-related events held, in general, in every four year.
First ECD were held in Toronto, Canada in 1972.[1] In this time Estonia was not an independent country but a part of Soviet Union (Estonian SSR).
Before Estonian Restoration of Independence in 1991, ECD were important events to keep Estonian culture alive.[2]

gollark: Food is, broadly speaking, necessary to live. But while I could probably *survive* on cheaper, less resource-intensive-to-produce food than I do, or less food by caloric content and stuff, I like to have more/better food than is strictly necessary. Same with water - I won't die of dehydration on some small amount per day, but on the whole I'll be worse off if I don't have as much to drink as I want, or enough water for showering and washing stuff.
gollark: I'm typing.
