FeedbackMarianne Tiigimaa, Head of HR Division at the Office of the Prosecutor General of Estonia, applied for funding for a group study visit to Prosecutor`s Offices of Finland and Denmark in spring 2018. The main objective of the project was to arrange study visits from Estonia to Prosecutors Offices in Copenhagen and Helsinki, in order to promote experience exchange on best practices and cross-sectoral cooperation with Nordic counterparts. Marianne Tiigimaa: „As the result of the project, the civil servants from Estonian Prosecutor's Office became acquainted with the functioning of the prosecution authorities of two other Nordic countries - Finland and Denmark. The study visits provided officials with new ideas and information for enhancing and developing daily work. The exchange of experience with the Nordic countries was an inspiring experience that enabled to find innovative solutions in the field of daily work. As the results of the project, new contacts were made, with whom to develop further cooperation, colleagues from Finland and Denmark were invited to visit Estonia to develop our recently started cooperation. This assignment was of great value to its participants, as it shed a lot of light on the countries’ differences and similarities, allowing both parties to learn from each other. The study visits produced practical benefit and ideas for continuing cooperation between Estonia, Finland and Denmark. The support services of our organization became more effective as a whole and the new ideas that our colleagues received will be put into practice in the daily work. The project resulted in achieving increased knowledge transfer for mutual benefit on all administrative levels, increased cross-sectoral cooperation, joint projects developed and/or other spin-off effects as a result of the programme. The project also helped to increase coordination of joint Nordic-Baltic utilisation of different EU funds and project financing.”
