Active winter holiday with Tartu Youth Work Centre 27.02-3.03

School holidays are coming again! The skiing weather tends to be rather volatile and poor right now, so what to do with this free time? Just chill?
Rest is always a good idea, and it's essential! However, should you get tired of just lying around and staring at the ceiling, we have opportunities for you to spend your break actively and fun!
Once again, Tartu Youth Work Center has put together a holiday program, and in addition, there are regular activities in all five Tartu youth centers.
What's our plan?
On Monday, February 27, we are quietly easing into the school holiday, and regular activities will take place in all five centers.
On Tuesday, February 28, there will be a visit to Elektrikino. We will be watching a film called “Väike ime” at 3:30 PM. Pre-registration is required; ask a youth worker or check the website. The registration link is here: https://forms.office.com/e/xtq3uhjSLR. There are spots for 30 young people!
On Wednesday, March 1, there will be an outing to Tallinn, where we will visit the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament) and meet politicians, visit the Museum of the Bank of Estonia, and go to Skypark trampoline center and the Wheel of Tallinn Ferris wheel to admire the capital.
