Coffee, tea and water will be available in both locations. We don’t offer disposable cups for drinking. Drinking coffee from a mug is IN! You can buy out a mug at the beginning of the symposium. You need to carry your mug around the area and wash it yourself. If you wish, you can personalize yours with a tag of yarn, etc. At the end of the event you can keep the mug or give it back and get the deposit in return.

The mugs are painted by Tallinn Support Center Juks. Juks is a social welfare center which provides social services for people with intellectual disability. They help intellectually disabled people to cope with daily life and work, to improve their skill set and spend spare time.
