A Visit From Estonia

Today a few officials from the town Valga in Estonia visited the University Centre of the Westfjords. The town of Valga is relatively remote and small and has had to battle reduction in population. It can therefore be said that there are quite a few similarities between Ísafjörður Municipality and Valga. In the group were Külliki Siilak, president of the city council, Ivar Unt, mayor, Alar Nääm, vice mayor and Ene Elango, city council secretary.

Peter Weiss director of the University Centre gave a presentation on the University Centre's operations and other staff members answered questions about specific parts of the Centre's activities. After that the Estonians visited other institutions in the building and listened to a presentation about the Westfjords Regional Development Agency and the Municipality Association of the Westfjords.
