This event is designed to allow people to practise their Estonian and overcome the language barrier in a relaxed natural setting. Participants will get on first-name terms with Mother Nature in their home county while making new friends and coming together as a team.  

Since the trip will be conducted in Estonian, it will give the participants the chance to practise using the language in the great outdoors, asking and answering questions and chatting with the team.  

They will learn new words, with the natural surroundings encouraging them to overcome the language barrier. The snowshoe hike will be something of a challenge – requiring a good deal of effort and team work.

Architecture tours support language-learning and are designed for adult students of Estonian who speak another language as their mother tongue and who are interested in architecture.
