Piret Voolaid is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Folkloristics at the Estonian Literary Museum and the Executive Manager of the Centre of Excellence of Estonian Studies. In her lecture, she will be discussing the ongoing School Lore Collection Competition for Canadian Estonians, as well as her past collection projects of the same theme. Organized in conjunction with the Estonian Literary Museum and VEMU, the current School Lore Competition is collecting written anecdotes from Canadian Estonians of all ages about their school days, ranging from topics such as jokes and games to fears, beliefs and predictions. 

The lecture will be held in Estonian and will be streamed on the VEMU YouTube Channel.
