Nooruse Maja was built in 1935 as a clubhouse by Rääma Noorte Ühing Noorus. Unfortunately the continuous activity broke off at the time of the soviet period, but when the NGO Rääma Noorte Ühing Noorus was re-established in 1998 then the city government of Pärnu accepted the movement and despite of the break of legal regularity it gave the building for Noorus Organization to manage in January 2000.
For today, close to thousand people has gathered under the roof of Rääma Noorte Ühing Noorus, who go to different organizations, clubs, NGOs and associations to spend their free time, to educate themselves and to live a club life. In our house it is possible to learn painting on china, painting on silk, painting on glass, painting, playing harmonica, making laces, patch work, sewing, line dance, line dance in wheelchair, society dance, ballroom dance, folk-dance, free-style dance, acting, singing, folklore. All activities are continuous and growing. Club life and communication are with great importance. All of the rooms are used by children, youth, adults and pensioners.
The majority of the added activities have taken its rise in doers’ own initiative and thanks to outputs in different media editions from Nooruse Maja they have grown to active and powerful movements. Painting on china, line dance and harmonica club are the very first of special kind activities in Estonia. All three citizens' initiatives have been recognized in Estonia and in foreign countries. Examples from paintings on china have been exposed in different international magazines, harmonica club and line dance club organize international festivals.
Traditions of the clubhouse Noorus go way back. Our history is thoroughly documented and published as a book. Locals of section Rääma and people who have taken part in our activities through generations are proud of their clubhouse. Lot of children arrive already early before their club. They do their homework here and wait for their tutor. People who lived in the same part of the town where Nooruse Maja is located used to say that they go to Nooruse Maja and there weren’t any problem. It seems that today apply the same rules.

International Society for Iberian-Slavonic Studies was established in Lisbon on 15 January 2007, and has to the objective of promoting Iberian-Slavonic Studies in Portugal and around the world. Applying the comparative formula 'contact and comparison', the Association recognises contacts and points of comparison between the Iberian and Slavonic cultures, situated at the distant poles of Europe but nevertheless coming ever closer. The recognition and deconstruction of the Iberian-Slavonic research area is a response to the new political and cultural dimensions of Europe and the world, which are struggling between affirming and questioning (or announcing the end of) multiculturalism. Thus, the Iberian-Slavonic project of CompaRes tends to respond to the new methodological directions of the post-modern comparativism, the one based on "likeness and difference in the world of difference". One important determinant of Iberian-Slavonic Studies is the approximation between the Iberian Peninsula and the former "Eastern Bloc" countries, as well as Yugoslavia (of the crucial Slavonic component), extension of the European Union by the Slavs, new waves of immigrants. In the new Europe, therefore, it is important to promote meeting points between cultural macrostructures, in our case, between those of Slavs and Iberians. Promoting the meeting of those two European cultures - traditionally seen as distant and even opposed, CompaRes shows benefits of finding the new and deepening the old perspectives for both comparative research and cultural experience.
