                  Toom, Marii Val, Helen Kübar) of the piece. An MP3 or WAV file can be ob-
                  tained from BPW Estonia (marii.valjataga@eui.eu) and directed to any chan-

         EARTH DAY EVENT



         On 22 April 2023, there will be a special Earth Day pledging event in Estonia, outside
         in  the  apple  tree  garden,  showcasing  pledges  by  female  entrepreneurs  in  Estonia
         and abroad. There will be artistic acts inspired by nature and the Earth Day initia-
         tive, such as  dances, storytelling and  BPW’s chant “I am the Earth” in a new ar-
         rangement in several languages, featuring a choir of women of different ages. We
         invite you to promote the viewing of the live stream in your areas, clubs and nation-
         ally.

         BPW  groups  and  members  will  video  their  country  initiative,  where  possible,  and
         send recorded videos of pledges and events, such as tree planting or litter picks and
         share them with the Estonia team in preparation for the Earth Day event – that way
         they can feature in the live stream!
