The hunt for The Adult Education Centre’s gift cards begins independently at 5 pm on Friday, 13 November 2026, when Sampola Mystery Night also gets under way. The passes entitling their finders to gift cards will be hidden in publicly accessible and barrier-free locations in Sampola’s lobby and corridor areas. Anyone who finds a pass can redeem it for a course gift card worth €30.00 at The Adult Education Centre’s customer service, according to the instructions provided.
With the gift card pass campaign, The Adult Education Centre is celebrating the publication of its new spring courses, which will be released at the same time. The spring programme includes 830 courses, 380 of which are new for the spring term. There will also be 19 free public lectures during the spring.
– The gift card pass hunt adds an extra twist to the mysterious atmosphere. We encourage people not only to search for the passes, but also to discover new experiences and hobbies in our spring programme, says communications specialist Anna-Katariina Maksimoff.
