Lukas, Minister of Education and Research.<br \/>\nExplanation: This year\u2019s special award for the Learning Deed of the Year went to writer and translator Igor Kotjuh from J\u00e4rva County for teaching Estonian language and culture to Ukrainians. As soon as the refugees arrived, Igor began providing support and teaching them the Estonian language. Apart from teaching them the language, Igor also familiarised Ukrainians with Estonian culture, customs, and traditions, and guided them on how to interact with authorities and use the internet effectively, thereby enabling them to become self-sufficient in Estonian society. According to Kersti Kivisoo, the principal of Paide Hillar Hanssoo Basic School, the initial language and cultural education had a more relaxed and casual approach. The course has been taking place once a week at Hillar Hanssoo Basic School since March, thanks to the approval of the local authorities who have granted permission for the free use of the school premises.<br \/>\nThe award was presented by: Ministry of Education and Research and the Association of Estonian Adult Educators (Andras).<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BuoquRybuLA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VIDEO<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/andras.ee\/et\/ukrainlaste-eesti-keele-ja-kultuuri-ope-jarvamaa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INTRODUCTION<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2022<\/h3>\n<p>Learning Deed of the Year 2022 (J\u00e4rvamaa): Igor Kotjuh \u2013 for teaching Estonian language and culture to Ukrainians.<br \/>\nExplanation: Igor\u2019s devoted efforts have facilitated the provision of assistance and education to numerous Ukrainian families who have settled in Paide. Once a week gatherings took place at Paide Hillar Hanssoo Basic School. The training has enabled Ukrainians to gain a deeper understanding of Estonian culture, its people and language. As a result, they have become more self-sufficient in integrating into Estonian society.<br \/>\nThe award was presented by Ministry of Education and Research, the Association of Estonian Adult Educators (Andras) and J\u00e4rvamaa adult coordinator.<\/p>\n<h3>2022<\/h3>\n<p>J\u00e4rvamaa Culture Prize, J\u00e4rvamaa Expert Group of the Cultural Endowment of J\u00e4rvamaa.<br \/>\nExplanation: For versatile literary activities.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Cultural Endowment of Estonia\u2019s Annual Prize for Literature (Literary Award for Russian-language authors) for <i>The Isolation Tapes<\/i> (\u0421\u0442\u0438\u0445\u043e\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u0438 \u0437\u0430\u043c\u0435\u0442\u043a\u0438) (2020)<br \/>\nExplanation: Poetic response to current events (keeping up with the changing times through Igor Kotjuh\u2019s poetry collection).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Juhan Liiv Poetry Prize nominee with the poem *<i>my name burdens me&#8230;<\/i> (published in the cultural magazine <i>Vikerkaar<\/i> No 4-5\/2020).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dea.digar.ee\/?a=d&amp;d=AKvikerkaar202004.2.19&amp;e=-------et-25--1--txt-txIN%7ctxTI%7ctxAU%7ctxTA-------------\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more at Digar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>2018<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Cultural Endowment of Estonia\u2019s Annual Prize for Literature (Literary Award for a Russian-language author) for <i>A naturally special story<\/i> (2017 \u0415\u0441\u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e \u043e\u0441\u043e\u0431\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0441\u043b\u0443\u0447\u0430\u0439)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2016<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u0420\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0430\u044f \u041f\u0440\u0435\u043c\u0438\u044f (\u041c\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0432\u0430), \u0441\u043f\u0435\u0446\u0438\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0437 \u0438 \u0434\u0438\u043f\u043b\u043e\u043c &#8220;\u0417\u0430 \u0432\u043a\u043b\u0430\u0434 \u0432 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0438\u0435 \u0438 \u0441\u0431\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0442\u0440\u0430\u0434\u0438\u0446\u0438\u0439 \u0440\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u043a\u0443\u043b\u044c\u0442\u0443\u0440\u044b \u0437\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0441\u0438\u0439\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0424\u0435\u0434\u0435\u0440\u0430\u0446\u0438\u0438&#8221;. \u041e\u0431\u043e\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435: &#8220;\u0417\u0430 \u043f\u043b\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u043d\u0443\u044e \u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0443\u044e \u0438 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0432\u043e\u0434\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0443\u044e \u0434\u0435\u044f\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c, \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0434\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0449\u0443\u044e \u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u0432\u0438\u0433\u0430\u044e\u0449\u0443\u044e \u0440\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u043e\u044f\u0437\u044b\u0447\u043d\u044b\u0445 \u043f\u043e\u044d\u0442\u043e\u0432 \u042d\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0438;
