This spring several districts host a series of workshops on the ‘FUTURE OF TALLINN 2021+’ to involve active citizens in the process of designing the future of their district as well as the entire city.

The draft Development Plan of Tallinn 2021+ developed under the auspices of the City’s Strategy Unit will serve as reference framework for discussions - it is available  here. The workshops will focus on topics like public urban space, mobility and local services and we expect you to provide feedback on the draft.

Workshops will be held according to the following schedule:

• 14 May - Haabersti/Mustamäe (Haabersti Recreational Centre, Ehitajate tee 109A/2, 3^rd floor)
• 20 May – Central District (Central District Youth Centre, Raua 23 Tallinn)
• 21 May – Nõmme/Pirita (Nõmme District Government, Valdeku 13)
• 28 May – Northern Tallinn/Kristiine (Northern Tallinn Day Centre, Sõle 61 A)
• 30 May – Lasnamäe (Lasnamäe Centrum, Mustakivi tee 13)

Workshops will be held from 17:00 to 20:00 save for the Central District where it runs from 17:30 to 20:30 and Lasnamäe from 18:00.

Workshops will be in Estonian except for the workshop at Lasnamäe which will be bilingual - Estonian and Russian.
