Mix group for students in grades 7–9

The free MIX group introduces participants to a new hobby each time, together with youth workers. At the beginning of the season, participants will try out photography, mölkky, geocaching, cooking, and baking, and visit the Maritime Museum.
The meetings are held on Tuesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at a location related to the theme. The locations vary, but the aim is to keep them close to the center of Rauma and upper secondary schools. The first meeting is on August 19 and will focus on photography.
