Estonia’s premier music industry event Tallinn Music Week (TMW) reveals the next wave of speakers for the Creative Impact Conference taking place within the event on 6th – 7th May.
Tallinn City Government has assembled the UNESCO Music City Council, which will implement the Tallinn Music Strategy 2022-2025. The Council will comprise two members of the City Government and ten people from influential music organisations. Its work will be organised by the Tallinn Culture and Sports Department.
Tallinn is a UNESCO City of Music from October 2021, and in this context the city has opened a call for applications to support music events taking place in Tallinn. In the first music grant round of the year, Tallinn awarded a total of €53,584 to 11 music projects.
Tallinn's city planning goal for the new year is to plan a more people-centered and sustainable city. Among other things, it means dividing public space and street space in favor of sustainable ways of moving, and planning a greener and more active urban space.
For the second year in a row, Tallinn will organise New Year's Eve fireworks displays in several different locations to make them as dispersed and safe as possible. The Tallinn City Government and the Estonian Society for the Protection of Animals jointly invite citizens to forgo personal fireworks and take part in the controlled fire shows organised by the city.
The Tallinn Strategic Management Office is seeking a partner to carry out a street space study for tramways, which would provide a basis for considering the possibility of extending the tramway network.
Tallinn will become a UNESCO City of Music from 2022, and the development of the Tallinn City Theatre will be the biggest cultural investment in next year's city budget.
In the field of enterprise, Tallinn's 2022 budget will fund smart city projects and support the green transition process, including the creation of a circular economy centre for advising businesses.
