Tallinners have donated large quantities of essential items to the Ukrainian war refugees through their district governments, but at the moment collection points are only accepting basic hygiene items, which are still in great need.
In order to better match the donations of helpful citizens of Tallinn with the urgent needs of war refugees from Ukraine, Tallinn is organising a collection of everyday items in the district administrations from Thursday, 10 March.
Last Sunday, Tallinn started the tradition of Museum Sundays, with free admission to city-owned museums on the first Sunday of every month. Interest in free museum visits was higher than expected on the opening Sunday in all museums.
From March, visitors will be able to visit Tallinn’s museums for free on the first Sunday of every month. The Museum Sundays with free admission is a practice common to many cities in the world.
This weekend, 21-22 May, residents of Haabersti, Mustamäe, Nõmme and Pirita will be able to dispose of both hazardous waste and reusable items at a collection stop near their homes.
Tallinn City Government has approved the draft city budget for 2022 with a total of €1.033 billion in revenue and expenditure, €76.4 million or 8% more than this year's revised budget.
Every resident of Tallinn at least 14 years old can take part in Tallinn's participatory budget vote, which opened on Monday, and vote for up to two ideas of their choice in their own neighbourhood.
In March this year, Tallinn launched the Museum Sundays initiative at city-owned museums to raise awareness of museum activities and improve access to culture. During 2022, the initiative has attracted a large number of visitors, with 14 museums and exhibition halls now participating.
