Happenings and excursions

We regularly visit interesting places and get to hear interesting
introductions by knowledgeable people in many of them.

During the latest years we have, for example, visited the orthodox
monastery of Pokrova, learnt how to cook Georgian food and went to see
the Theatre museum of Helsinki.

In addition to excursions, we organize different kinds
of themed gatherings and studia generalias.
Typical themes have been different cultural topics in the fields of arts,
music, theatre, cinema, history, poetry and cuisine.
We have got to know the local cultures and culinary delights
of the home countries of our numerous international members.
