How does your donation help?
For years, we’ve been creating supporting teaching materials for teachers in the form of e-lessons to help them develop general competences and life skills in their students. We have already created more than 400 e-lessons on various subjects and we want to reach more and more teachers and students.
We will use your donation to bring an inspiring guest teacher to students live on YouTube, who will teach an e-lesson with practical examples to all students in Estonia. The e-lessons will help teachers address topical issues, which range from wall to wall, starting from financial literacy and entrepreneurship and ending on internet safety. In addition to the expert’s lecture, we have prepared worksheets for the teacher to follow up with students at the end of the live broadcast.
It is possible to watch the e-lessons that have already taken place on the Back to School e-lessons website.
E-lessons boost students’ motivation to learn
People have participated in the e-lessons, which have taken place more than 500,000 times. According to teachers, e-lessons help students get answers to questions that are important to them. We also activate students who are usually difficult to involve in studies.
E-lessons bring practical life to schools
Donations are very valuable to Back to School e-lessons because they help us to bring to schools the topics that teachers themselves suggest to us and consider necessary. Last year, we used donations to organise an e-lesson with Jaan Aru, which was attended by a record 25,000 students. Donations can have a big impact. We are very grateful for this!
We need €800 for one e-lesson, which will ensure high-quality live broadcasts for students and practical teaching materials for teachers. Every donation counts because once €800 is raised, we can create the next exciting and much-needed e-lesson.
The organisation is included on the list of income tax incentive non-profit organizations. Read more about taxes here: Donations and taxes.

Back to School
The mission of Back to School e-lessons is to create high quality teaching materials to aid teachers in developing competences and life skills of their pupils. The initiative was born at Youth to School Foundation (in Estonian: SA Noored Kooli) which has now turned into a platform with the purpose of strengthening the cooperation between schools and the rest of the society.

YFU Estonia scholarship fund “Door to the World” – for a more tolerant Estonia!
Estonia of the future needs young people who are able to manage themselves, are creative, have good communication skills, are able to think critically and take risks if necessary. Language skills and international qualifications have become increasingly important. All this cannot be achieved at school alone. This is why YFU Estonia organises student exchange programs at the upper secondary level and offers exchange year opportunities for enterprising and curious young people who are willing to experience life in a new family and culture.

The school system has not adapted quickly enough to a society characterised by information overload, polarisation and the spread of misinformation. There is a need to rapidly develop the critical thinking and reasoning skills of students. With the support of your donation the Debating Society will train teachers to use the debating method both in the classroom to teach subject competences and in more depth in the form of elective subjects or leisure activities.
