During the past school year, an environmental education programme had been carried out in Tallinn nurseries and schools encouraging children to reuse and recycle things and to develop the habit of sorting waste by type.

In Tallinn, the circular economy company FudLoop has expanded its network of smart food sharing pantries, which is unique in the world, with the aim of reducing food waste.

Tallinn plans to collaborate with the private sector to construct an Olympic-sized swimming pool in Lasnamäe at the Kuukivi 3 and 5 (formerly Varraku 14a and 14b) properties. In 2019, Tondiraba Ujula OÜ, the winner of the state procurement that year, informed the city in late August that they would be unable to complete the construction of the pool within the agreed-upon time and conditions due to a substantial increase in construction costs. Since the construction project has already been made and all that is missing are the construction procurements, the city has decided to terminate the existing contract and plans to start a new procurement process.

Tondiraba Ujula OÜ has emerged as the sole bidder for constructing an Olympic-sized swimming pool at Kuukivi Street 3 and 5 in Lasnamäe, moving forward with signing a concession agreement and establishing a building right. The completion timeline for the construction is set at 34 months from the contract signing date.

From 2023, the limit for covering the cost of food in kindergartens in Tallinn will increase by 50% and the cost of school meals for pupils will rise from €1.56 to €1.80 a day. School meals will continue to be free of charge for both primary and secondary school pupils in Tallinn.

The Õismäe Pool is now equipped with a lifting device designed to help people with mobility impairments easily access the pool. The device was purchased and installed with support from the Tallinn Social and Healthcare Department’s Accessibility Fund.
