1. ASSOCIATION TRAINING AT DESIGN FACTORY ON 4 DEC
AYY’s association training will be organised at Design Factory in Espoo from 5pm onwards on 4 Dec. Training is intended for old and new operators in the member associations of AYY’s association register. You can also show up if you are interested in organisational activities or consider the establishment of a new association. Training is suitable both for beginners in association activities and more experienced actors. If you are very experienced, you should consider in advance in which training sections you would like to participate and attend accordingly. The first section, which is the same for everyone, mainly addresses issues related to AYY and Aalto community as well as the operating grants, whereas the latter group-specific programme covers the twists and practical arrangements of association activities. Training will end at 8pm at the latest.
Some refreshments will be served in the training but it is better brings snacks if you think that you will get hungry during the intense training period of three hours. Unfortunately, training is arranged only in Finnish. Facilities are accessible in a wheelchair.
A more detailed schedule and programme is available below. You can sign up at www.tinyurl.com/yhdistyskoulutus-2012. You can also show up without pre-registration but we reserve refreshments according to the number of registered participants. If you have any training-related questions or suggestions, please contact us at jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi. Welcome!

AYY’s Board decided at its meeting 44/2012 on 16 Nov 2012 to henceforth allocate the start-up grant to all new associations which join AYY’s association list. The start-up grant includes the registration fee of the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland and 100 euro for the establishment of association activities (total of €175 in 2012). However, this decision is valid with the condition that the Board can change the decision at any suitable time.
