5. Nordic walking
Nordic Walking is a total body version of walking. The activity is performed with specially designed walking poles which restrict arm movements. Special wrist-straps fixed to the grips greatly reduce loads on knee and hip joints as well as spine. The activity is safe and easy, and can be enjoyed by people of any age and physical shape. (3 meetings)
In addition, all participants will take part in meetings and visits to cultural institutions.
The deadline for application is 5 March. The enrollments are on the first-come-first-served basis due to a limited number of places available. The workshops will be held March through May.
