for a public event permit: A public event permit must be applied for in order to organise public events in Tallinn. A public event is an entertainment, competition, performance, commercial event or other similar function held in a public space and open to the public.
A public event permit is not required for an event taking place in the open air and in a restricted territorial area, in a building or in part of one intended for public gatherings and free movement and use unless it is an event with a heightened security risk or takes place between 22:00-06:00.
and filming in a public space: Photographing and filming in public spaces is permitted and generally does not require special permits. Photographing and filming must not disturb people and if it does, it must be stopped. If photographing or filming in a public place impedes pedestrian traffic or temporarily alters traffic management, a temporary street closure permit must be applied for at the Tallinn Transport Department. Photographing or filming on private property may be done with the owner’s permission. Permission must be obtained directly from the owner. Photographing or filming in commercial centres or attractions also requires a permit which must be obtained from the head of the institution either in advance or on the spot.
videos on accessibility These educational videos introduce simple techniques to ensure accessibility in events, services and physical environments. Ensuring accessibility for people with special needs does not always mean that the project becomes more expensive or overly complex. Creating equal opportunities for people with special needs does not compromise any aspect of the project, but rather improves the project as a whole.
1. Accessible physical environment The physical space around us is the most clearly felt environment we can imagine ourselves in. The educational video highlights the personal experiences of people with special needs, the vision of representative organisations and primary recommendations on how an environment created by human hands can be as independently accessible as possible to different people who may be physically, visually, hearing or intellectually disabled. 2. Accessible information and communication Accessibility to the digital environment includes, for example, making bank transfers or reading e-books, as well as accessing media content. The educational video provides an overview of what solutions and approaches people with special needs require to make information accessible and how to organise accessible communication. 3. An accessible event An event does not have to be a theatre performance or an outdoor concert, it could also be a seminar or a work group meeting. An accessible event is born in combination with an accessible environment, information and communication. It is worth remembering that nowadays an event can take place in a physical environment, virtually or it can be a hybrid event. The educational video highlights what events are accessible for people with special needs and what should be considered when planning an event.
