Regular physical activity and sport is good for both body and mind - as the traditional Sports Morning will remind us on Friday, 26 November. This time, all residents are invited to take part in guided outdoor hikes, and schools and kindergartens can take part in the "Do squats to make you smart!" challenge.
On Thursday, November 23, from 8 to 9 a.m., a sports event will be held in three sports centers and two winter swimming centers in Tallinn. At this event, everyone can join free training sessions. The aim is to emphasize the importance of regular exercise throughout the year, even during the dark and cold seasons when various opportunities are available.
The ninth annual free Sports Morning event brought 634 people to the sports centers and winter swimming centers. In addition, over 3,800 students and preschool children participated in the "Sports Minute" challenge.
For the upcoming year, Tallinn's budget allocates nearly 396 million euros for educational operations, representing almost 41% of the total operating costs. The primary focuses include the transition to Estonian-language education, increased investment, and raising the minimum wage for teachers.
The City of Tallinn, as part of its 2020-2030 education strategy, aims to modernize the entire network of schools and kindergartens by 2030. This year, the city is investing over 38 million euros in the renovation of kindergartens.
