Guided Tour followed by Coffee
WIISE members, join us for a guided tour of Seinäjoki’s unique Aalto Center. We have arranged an English-language tour with a professional guide, Kazue Ikemoto-Mäyry, who will take us from Lakeuden Risti church into the City Hall around the Theatre before finishing at Seinäjoki twin-libraries 😅 The tour will last for 90 minutes, then we’ll sit down for coffee, cake and a chat.

WIISE will cover the cost of the guided tour and post-tour coffee for members. There is a limit to the tour group of 20 people, so this event is only open to WIISE members.
Registration deadline: Thursday, April 24, 2025, 16:00 (or when all 20 places are claimed!)
