First Tartu 2024 workshop for eco-friendly merch postponed

On 14 March, the Tartu 2024 team was to hold their first workshop where participants can make a t-shirt, shopping bag and notebook that bear the message of the European Capital of Culture. None of the material used was to be new – the clothes and paper provided at the event were to be from second hand stores or recycled but in good condition, awaiting new owners and lives.
