Following one of our slogans, ‘Documentary photos make an impact’, we contribute towards improved quality of life for Estonia’s elderly residents through a high-quality hobby activity that enriches their spirits, maintains health, facilitates social interactions and reduces loneliness.

Your support is used towards organising special events for the elderly - the "Better Sundays" and the "Perspective" photography mornings for seniors, providing opportunities for meaningful, inspiring and social interaction. 

  • “Better Sundays” is the last Sunday of every month at Documentary Centre. On this day you can come to see a the exhibition for free if you come with your elderly relative or acquaintance.
  • "Perspective" photography mornings for seniors. A typical monthly photography morning for seniors consists of three main elements:
    • Inspiration – a photography-related lecture, conversation or workshop (e.g., presentation of a photo project, exhibition review, lecture on a photographer, chapters from the history of photography, coverage of socially relevant topics in documentary photography, etc.);
    • Five photo stories – a chance for the elderly to show a photograph and tell a related story. Each event features 5 presenters and 5 stories, hosted by a moderator;
    • Interaction – during various active breaks and guided photography exercises. There are also sufficiently long coffee breaks and possibilities to have lunch together in the exciting Telliskivi Creative City.

* if the situation with Covid19 gets worse and physical events are not allowed, the photography mornings will be held online.

The organization is included on the list of income tax incentive non-profit organizations. Learn more about relevant tax topics: Donations and taxes
