1. RESPOND TO AYY’S ASSOCIATION TRAINING INQUIRY

Again this year, AYY’s organisational sector organises training for old and new association operators in the autumn and winter. Now we are interested to hear what kind of training you think you will need. You can respond to the brief inquiry at here. You can also send feedback and requests by email to jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi

2. JOIN THE NIGHT AT THE CAMPUS EVENT AT SENATE SQUARE – SIGN UP BY TUE, 4 SEPT

Is there something you have always wanted to do at Senate Square? Come and do it with your organisation! On Monday, 10 Sept, 5pm-10.30pm, we will organise Night at the Campus event related to World Student Capital project, where students take over Senate Square. The event will include performers, tents, food stalls and all kinds of other activities!

We also want to give organisations and student groups the opportunity to have a memorable evening. At the square, there will be marquees for organisations and a separate platform for various theatre groups and other performers. MIAU, a band which performed at Flow Festival, will perform on the big stage, and there are also discussions on issues related to students. So you can organise pop up theatre, discussions, competitions or tug of war, for example. Anything that describes your organisation well or something where you are good. Almost everything is possible!

Please sign up no later than 10am on 4 Sept through the form which is available at https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/36357/lomake.html .

For further information, please contact Matti Lehto (matti.lehto@hyy.fi, 050 325 8041). The event is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/401079883271094/

PS. Is your calendar full and you have no time? Write down Night at the Campus event in the event calendar of your organisation and bring your freshmen and other members to this greatest student city festival of the autumn! Make this event your own and come together to have fun!

World Student Capital is the joint design capital project of the University of Helsinki and the student unions and cities in the metropolitan area, made by students for students.

3. JOIN THE CAMPUS EXPO

This year, AYY’s Campus Expo will be organised in Töölö on Monday, 17 Sept and in Otaniemi on Tue, 18 Sept-Wed, 19 Sept. Campus Expo in Arabianranta was already celebrated in connection with the orientation of new students.

In Campus Expo, you can present your association activities to new students, sell overall badges and make new acquaintances. A special feature of this year is that an evening event is organised in Töölö on Monday and on the first Otaniemi Day. The idea is that you can invite new members to get to know your club and sauna facilities. Your association may participate in one or more days.

During the day, display stands will be available between 10am-2pm. Stands include a table and a chair but associations must bring other material by themselves. Registration is open in here, but if you need any additional information, you can get it touch with the organiser of the Campus Expo Maiju Tompuri maiju.tompuri@ayy.fi.

Campus Expo schedule:

Mon, 17 Sept, the 1^st day of the expo: daytime, Töölö

Tue, 18 Sept, the 2^nd day of the expo: daytime, the former main building in Otaniemi. In the evening, there is an opportunity to book a few club rooms where you can organise fun association activities which you can promote during the day.

Wed, 19 Sept, the 3^rd day of the expo: daytime, the former main building in Otaniemi. The World on Campus event is organised by the internationality section in the evening.

6. WELCOME TO THE SCOUTS – PRESENTATION OF SCOUNTING ACTIVITIES ON 25 SEPT

You can join the scouts at any age, and you should, as scouting is rewarding volunteer work. It includes adventures and experiences, which increase your confidence in your own skills. In scouting, you learn organisational skills, cooperation skills and management, and you can try out new ideas in a safe environment. There are 38 million scouts in the world, in almost all countries of the world. Scouting includes nonpolitical activities open to everyone, which take place in local groups.

Scouting in the metropolitan area is getting more popular and adult volunteers are needed. Come and learn about scouting! We present scouting activities and provide refreshments at Partioasema (Töölönkatu 55) on 25 Sept, 6pm-8pm. Invite your friend to come with you! You can find more information at www.pääkaupunkiseudunpartiolaiset.fi. You can also call Anna at the office: 09 88651216 or send e-mail to anna.kolehmainen@partio.fi.

The event is available on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/337475083011564/
