My harrastus

A "harrastus" is more than a hobby. It is a fun way to join life in Tampere and be part of the community. Having a "harrastus" is an integral part of Finnish way of living, also for adults. 

You can choose from many different hobbies and find one you like. You can start even if you are a beginner. Everyone can join – no perfect Finnish is needed.

Come as you are and enjoy spending time with others!
