 Freezing Hot New Year in Wild Estonian Nature

December 30th 2006 – January 5th 2007 in Tartu, Soomaa, Tallinn

This event carried mainly 3 aims:
to gather environment-enthusiasts to start creating Environmental WG
to offer different kind of Entertainment, together with Education and taking into account Environment
to have fun and nice new year party J

During 6 days we had lectures about state of environment in Europe, healthy food, ecolabels etc, workshops how to make bread and paper, bog hike, open discussion sessions about environment and AEGEE, lots of sauna. Even a short movie was created.
Most of the time during the event we spent outside of urban area, accommodated in a hostel applying for European Ecolabel and catered by local cook and consuming local food. Workshops and Estonian folk music party were to support the traditions’ and sustainability aspect. We also had Ecological European Night - everyone had to bring at least one organic product.
This was the event where the current board of EnWG met and decided to become official working group. So the New Year promise „Make a new start” seemed to have worked.
