Knowledge, skills and expertise – well‑being for you!

Language courses offer a great opportunity to improve your skills or start learning a new language. There is a huge variety of short courses in different languages available, so if committing to a longer course has felt uncertain, now is a great time to test your motivation with a shorter one. Courses are offered for learners at all levels, from beginners to more advanced and also conversation classes. You can develop your language skills in courses such as English, Spanish, Italian, Greek, or Russian. Many courses are also available online, making it easy to study even if you’ve already headed off to work on your summer cottage.

Spring gardening enthusiasm can be put to good use in gardening courses, which cover many topics such as home garden care and herb cultivation. In addition to dozens of courses, there are also free gardening lectures available.

To balance a busy everyday life, there are courses that support well-being, such as meditation and relaxation exercises. You’ll also find courses in crafts, cooking, physical activity, and many other subjects.

Short courses are a great opportunity to try something new without a major time commitment—you might discover a hobby that inspires you for much longer! Even if the course you want is full, it’s always worth joining the waiting list, as enrollment numbers change constantly. However, don’t leave registration until the very last days before the course. You might be the one participant needed to make the course happen!
 

Lifelong learning
