On 10 August, we are inviting all families with children and other interested people to Palupera's lovely manor house and the park around it for a free family day! You can take part in various workshops and activities with exciting artists and creative people from Estonia and abroad. Experiment, explore, learn and have fun: everyone is welcome!

During the family day you can:
⭐️ see how a digital twin is created (sound artist Jaakko Autio, Finland);
⭐️ play a game of inventing rules (artist duo Leisure: Meredith Carruthers and Susannah Wesley, Canada);
⭐️ visit the Berlin Children’s Museum MACHmit! Museum bus, where you can get to know eight beasts, make rage crumpets, secret boxes and ice cream spoons;
⭐️ make art with a little flair (creative therapist Mariliis Tähepõld);
⭐️ wander around the manor park with the brand new outdoor LOOVHOOV learning cards (educational curators Jane Meresmaa-Roos and Sireli Uusmaa);
⭐️ try the great offerings of the on-site café.

👉 The family day takes place from 12.00–16.00 and all activities are free of charge.
👉 Activities are available in Estonian and English.

The event takes place no matter what the weather: if it is rainy or cold, activities will take place in the manor house.
The family day is part of the “Creative Connections” project in the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024. On 9 August, a contemporary art exhibition for children titled “The Secrets of the Leaning Building” will open at the Tartu Art Museum and also an international symposium on art education will take place at the Palupera Primary School on 9 August.

Thank you: the Palupera Primary School, Tartu 2024 Foundation, Cultural Endowment of Estonia, Estonian Embassy in Berlin, Tartu Art Museum and Elva Municipality.
