April 16th – Development seminar at Tammistu – Involving stakeholders into development of Tammistu mano among local and regional businesses and other bodies with similar interests and mutual benefit.
The seminar is meant to attract a wide range of stakeholders from Tartu rural municipality, Tartu city and county and more widely in Estonia, who are interestred in working together with Tammistu manor – to enable and contribute to use of the possibilities in a modern and innovative way.
Estonian Agrenska Foundation is fully independent in its economics. To be able to run Tammistu manor in an effective way, supporters and co-operation bodies are needed – who can back up or run a task in co-operation with the Foundation or by other terms of mutual benefit. 10 years have passed since 2005 when Tammistu was taken into use once more. During these years an abandoned, neglected and empty place have become a family center in active use. At the same time, numbers of visitors are increasing and many hidden possibilities are not taken into use. Therefore active participation is expected to find useful ideas together.
