At the close of Monday, you will have the possibility to have a guided tour of Turku Cathedral before the start of the evening programme in the main building of the Old Academy of Turku, Akatemiatalo.
From the Old Academy building, we will move on to the history class of Brewery Restaurant Koulu (School) to socialise in a more relaxed setting.
We, the Planning Group, would like to wish you a warm welcome to Turku, and hope you have rewarding Language Centre Days.
