Social welfare helps to overcome temporary difficulties and supports those who cannot cope independently. Providing social welfare services, giving out social benefits and creating equal opportunities helps to decrease social inequality and poverty as well as the exclusion of people from societal and economic life, increases the independent coping of people and allows the creation of an intertwined society. It also increases people’s sense of security.

Prevention work helps to inform people about how everyone can contribute to their own safety and the safety of others. The presence of law enforcement increases everyone’s sense of security: people can receive help in a way that is flexible and operative.

Cultural activities provide great opportunities for meeting and socialising with others. A wide variety of possible activities increases communication between people and results in a more cohesive society. Valuing different cultures creates coherence between the ethnic groups residing in Tallinn.

The city is more coherent when the urban space is designed so that various activities are connected to one another and there is more contact between people. Crowded streets increase people’s sense of security. Observing the principles of safety when designing a space decreases the number of accidents.

When companies value mobility, flexible forms of work and a work culture that favours differences, a wider range of people has the opportunity to work. Companies who hire foreign talents provide a good environment for different cultures to meet and understand one another better. A good management builds bridges between people and supports each person individually. An entrepreneurial lifestyle allows everyone to be their own boss and organise their lives based on their own needs.

Supporting individual development, good general skills and excellent knowledge improves individual and dignified coping and the intertwinement of the entire society. The development of education in Estonian helps to maintain the Estonian language and unite society. Creating a comprehensive support and trust system for young people who are at risk of exclusion promotes the intertwinement of society.

Offering all city residents equal opportunities to be active, do sports and participate in sport events foster the intertwinement of the society and the independent coping of people.

Planning the city’s real estate environment, social and municipal housing units in Tallinn’s various districts promotes social cohesion.

Fostering healthy lifestyles and ensuring the accessibility of health care prolongs people’s healthy life expectancy, contributes to social cohesion, independent coping and a strong sense of security as well as increases employment and added value of companies.
