Some words about me

  • I have been involved with Tallinn Law School at Tallinn University of Technology (formerly the Law School of International University Audentes, International University Concordia Audentes, Concordia International University Estonia) since the year 2000, first as a student, later as teaching assistant and now also a lecturer and part of the administrative team. This means that I have gained considerable experience in educational administration as well as legal research and teaching.
  • I co-founded the Estonian Human Rights Centre and currently co-manage its activities.
  • I am project manager for the campaign erinevus rikastab, which aims to increase levels of tolerance in Estonia.
  • I co-founded and later helped to run the youth organisation Tegusad Eesti Noored 2001 – 2008. I have now retired, but still follow its activities with great enthusiasm.
  • I was involved with the European Youth Parliament from 1999 – 2008, first participating as a delegate, later as national coordinator.

Some words about this blog

This blog is mainly written for myself, as a personal diary. I do not mind you reading it and commenting my posts. However, please do not think that by reading this blog you get to know me. If you really want to get to know me, contact me (kari@karijournal.com) directly. I am always happy to make new friends from all over the world.

Although I am Estonian, and I live in Estonia, I choose to blog in English. This is for several reasons: it is sometimes easier for me to express myself in English; almost all of my friends who might wonder on to this page can speak English (I have a number of friends who cannot speak Estonian); and it helps to improve my English writing skills.
