Here is a letter from the PIPE management to the estonian partner ,
written after the expo in Ulricehamn.  "The estonian contribution has been
very valuable for us. Everything started out from the great kick-off event that
you organised for us in Tallinn, september 2002".

"The conference is over, but the ideas will live also after this event as well. The ideas are now collected - and they are very good. But now the ideas must be realized." Egdars Vimba is in this article giving his views about the Youth Conference in Türi and about the future challanges for Türi town.

During the three intense last days of January, more than 50 participants from The PIPE team analysed Türi town in Järvamaa county in Estonia. In spite of the cold and snowy winter they explored the town and the municipality.
