These are the main stops of the itinerary of the project « The Detour ». A first journey of 3000 km has been made from Turku (FI) to Tallinn (EST) from the 21st of May to the 16th of June 2010 to collect data. This data (pictures, interviews and sound recordings) will be sorted out, selected and completed during future journeys this summer. The aim of this collection is to create a new website which will gather together the accounts and information in approximatively 100 to 150 selected places which tell us about the history and the memory shared by Finns, Russians and Estonians. In the meantime, you can already find in the heading « Database », a short overview with sounds and pictures of the visited places and the people we have encountered along the route.
