Tourism and Social Activities
Apart from the seminar attendance, participants will have access to various activities. Prior to the conference in the morning on Monday 22nd July, they can sign up for an optional guided walking tour of Tallinn, which will last for 2 hours, showcasing the contrast between the historic Old Town and the modern creative districts (additional cost of $25 per person). The conference will start with an Opening Reception at 11.30 am that morning.
There are concerts at the end of Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, 24th July, the conference will take place for a full day at the Arvo Pärt Center in Laulasmaa, providing an opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in Estonian nature with a brief walk through the forest and to the coast.

Additionally, various museums can be visited as part of further tourist activities, which
can be organized on-site.
On Thursday evening, there will be a special conference banquet (additional cost of $75 per person). The conference will end on Friday 26th at 1 pm with a closing ceremony.
