Opening Seremonies

We have a very special guest at our opening seremonies. He is one of the most wanted lecturers and commentators in Finland, former ice-hockey professional and coach and writer Mr Juhani Tamminen. We are going to have a very interesting and colourful time with him at the beginning of the fifth Curly World Seminar (both in English and in Finnish)!


 

Please note, that you can buy Tamminen's new book "Don Tami - My Story" at discount price after the opening seremonies!
