In line with the theme of the week, visitors can also test their civic skills through a variety of quizzes at the Centre’s stand.
The student association of the Adult Education Centre of the Tampere Region will participate on both days, setting up a pancake tent in front of the library, where homemade pancakes will be available for purchase.
Assistant principal Anne Partanen hopes the public will attend the event.
– The event offers stimulation for the brain, whether through quizzes or the pancake tent," says Partanen.

The academic year at the Adult Education Centre of the Tampere Region begins on Monday, September 1, 2025, with courses of varying lengths starting throughout the semester.
