03.07. TSU-2010: A Guide to A Better Life
Place: Tarto, Tallinn & Helsinki

This summer AEGEE-Helsinki is organising a Summer University together with AEGEE-Tallinn and AEGEE-Tartu. This SU will be all about development of mind and physique!

****

The description goes as follows:

Are you dissatisfied with your life? Do you often feel you're worth nothing? Have you always wanted a big change?

This year we’ll help you! We’ll train you mentally, physically and spiritually. A better life requires well-being. You will be stronger, faster and more skilled. One might get very stressed in the current world. We’ll teach you a new balance between peace and stress. And most of all you will have the self-confidence to express yourself in ways you’d never believed.

****

Now you might notice there a sense of irony and you're actually correct. This one is not to be taken seriously but more like a parody of modern life of extreme efficiency.

The timetable:

3.7-8.7 Tartu 9.7-12.7 Tallinn 13.7-16.7 Märkiö cottage 14.7-18.7 Helsinki

Everyone is welcomed to join the organising team!
