Violaine Champetier de Ribes presented CAdFE, the Club d’Affaires des Francophones, and discussed possible avenues of collaboration.
We had the opportunity to exchange views on the integration model in France, highlighting what works and the challenges encountered.
The sometimes complex French integration model was compared to the Estonian approach, which aims to understand everyone’s differences while preserving and celebrating cultural diversity.

The center welcomes all questions with enthusiasm, as they help to enrich its spectrum of action, enabling it to provide precise answers.
A survey of foreign residents has provided suggestions for further improving reception in Estonia, and for introducing new measures.

Given the diversity of initiatives underway, the center recognizes the need to synthesize these efforts to enable more effective integration.
Despite the existence of many useful initiatives, some remain little known, and it is essential to publicize them.
With a growing number of 5,000 immigrants a year and a foreign community of between 70 and 75,000 in Tallinn, Estonia has become a destination of choice, attracting people in particular with its innovative digital model.
The Tallinn Migration Center’s ethos is clear: listen, include and treat everyone with kindness. The diverse team, comprising a psychologist, a lead specialist, a coordinator dedicated to personalized support, an administrator and temporary recruiters, is actively involved.
Alice Järvet, in charge of the business start-up competition for Ukrainian women in Estonia, organized for the second year running by CAdFE, highlighted the support already received from numerous institutional partners (the French Embassy in Estonia, the Ukrainian Embassy in Estonia, IOM, NGO Lifeline, NGO Hands For Ukraine, the Council of Foreign Investors in Estonia).
The competition provides an opportunity for these women to develop their entrepreneurial projects, enabling them, in the words of the participants in the first edition, not to feel defined by their refugee status, but to grow beyond these preconceived labels.
