What is ESEE?
The ESEE is a biennial event that is organized in rotation by European countries for
training and research in the purpose of communication for agricultural and rural extension.
During these passed years we,  the Extension Educators have met all around Europe.
The issue, "train trainers to train" is the same but the world around has changed.
We need food, and the farmers are still providing the material for safety food as well as they are most
responsible of security of  food. We, the extension educators are finding the innovations
for new and less time consuming and easier work for agriculture.
The first seminar was organized 40 years ago.  This jubileum seminar is hosting prof Pauli Juuti in cooperation of Institute JTO Management School in Nexthotel Aavaranta congress hotel. http://www.jto.fi/ ,
 and  accomodation <www.nexthotel.fi>

Particiapnts are expected to start voluntarily a pro seminar Study Tour to Estonia starting  Monday 29th August in Tallinn Estonia. The Estonian Ministry of Agriculture organize the Study tour. See the information!

Purpose
