Your Excellency Ms Heidy Purga

Minister of Culture of the Republic of Estonia,

On behalf of Hanaholmen – the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Centre, I have the
honour to invite Your Excellency to deliver a keynote speech on the
Estonian model for cultural heritage preparedness at the Hanaholmen
Heritage Conference, to be held on 28 May 2026 at Hanaholmen, Espoo,
Finland.

Hanaholmen Heritage is a Nordic–Baltic programme dedicated to cultural
heritage preparedness and coordinated by Hanaholmen – the Swedish-Finnish
Cultural Centre. The programme is initiated by the Nordic and Baltic
Ministers for Culture and funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

The initiative responds to the increasing awareness of hybrid,
climate-related and military threats to cultural heritage. By connecting
experts and institutions from across the region, the programme seeks to
build knowledge, trust and long-term collaboration on preparedness and
resilience.

The programme consists of both a training programme and a conference.
Estonia is represented in the training programme by Ms Kadri Tael, Crisis
Preparedness Manager at the National Heritage Board of Estonia, and Mr
Peeter Mauer, Project Manager at the National Heritage Board of Estonia.
In addition, Ms Kristi Raik, Director of the International Centre for
Defence and Security in Estonia, is a member of the programme’s reference
group.

The Hanaholmen Heritage Conference will bring together high-level
representatives, experts and decision-makers from across the Nordic and
Baltic countries to discuss the protection of cultural heritage in times
of growing geopolitical uncertainty. An address by Your Excellency would
be a great honour and would significantly enrich the conference.

Please find attached a brief draft programme for the conference for your
reference. We would be honoured to provide any additional information that
may be required.

Yours sincerely,

Gunvor Kronman
