Be prepared to widen your horizons and explore new concepts at the Festival of Lights this autumn. The festival will share it`s 10th anniversary with you from the 30th September to the 5th of October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Festival of Lights will enlighten us with \u201cArrival\u201d The overarching installation of light and sound transports us to space and lets us explore the vastness of it. It is supported by dance performances and music. Through the week there we will run a separate youth program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The festival will bring together the different workshops, sessions of exploring the light and science behind it and intertwine them with cultural aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year we have expanded our program to the neighbouring parish of Kambja<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parish of Kambja<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2025 will see a human step on a Moon once again. NASA project will see a woman on the southside of our Moon. Honouring and celebrating the curiosity of the human mind – will be reflected in \u201cTouchdown\u201d. The project that brings together the energy of descent and landing of the new NASA project Artemis 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This light and sound installation is a collaboration between Latvian partners Story Hub\u00b4And Those Guys of Lightning. It will be presented in Tartu Airport and grounds of Estonian Aviation Academy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Touchdown will be backed by a new creation by composer Taavi Tulev who will \u201cmelt\u201d the industrial aviation sounds into the whole . <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tartu Airport and Estonian Aviation Academy are normally places of business but during our Festival of Lights the area will come to life to be explored by curious minds. \u201cThis project is not just a cultural pinnacle, it will draw attention and start conversations about Tartu as an important transport and cultural hub for neighbouring countries and European Union\u201d states the principal organiser of the event Ingrid Hamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the above there will be a special workshop area for children.

Project \u201cBeyond\u201d is a collaboration between University of Tartu and Space Centre (Observatory) and ESERO. Ten workshops will be delivered by scientists and business owners, true experts in the field. The workshops will introduce exciting opportunities in the space industry and engeneering. Astronomy and space are enticing subjects that can bring children and youth closer to science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An example of the workshop will utilise a computer game called Kerbal Space, where you can build a launcher which will be sent to orbit and measure\u00a0 the distances between\u00a0 far-far away objects using parallax method. Students can \u201cbake\u201d a comet and plan a mission\u00a0\u201cComet Flyby\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the workshops the main theme will continue to be the mission to the Moon – Artemis.
