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]
