Broad incumbents

• Tartu Rahvaülikool: Tartu Folk University provides adult education courses including language training and cultural programming in southern Estonia, sharing the same folk high school model and target learner audience as HRU.
• Rootsi Rahvaülikool Eestis: Swedish Folk School in Estonia was the predecessor institution from which Haapsalu Rahvaülikool split on April 1, 2009.

• Tallinna Rahvaülikool: Tallinn Folk University is the largest rahvaülikool in Estonia, offering adult continuing education including language and cultural courses to individual learners in the capital under the same non-formal education model.

Regional players
