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?

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 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.
