TALLINN UNIVERSITY HEALTH ORIENTATION MONTH GENERAL GUIDE

Tallinn University's Health Orientation Month (hereinafter: the event) is an annual event with the aim of popularizing purposeful activity as one of the important foundations of healthy behavior. The Health Orientation Month is voluntary for all participants and intended for participation by the entire TU membership and their loved ones.
