AYY’s association training is organised at Espoo Design Factory (Betonimiehenkuja 5) from 5pm onwards on Tuesday, 26 Nov. 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 common section 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.

Training lasts for three hours and is quite intensive, so it is advisable to take refreshments with you. Unfortunately, training is arranged only in Finnish. Facilities are accessible in a wheelchair.

A more detailed schedule and programme is available at /yhdistyskoulutus-2013/. After getting to know the programme, you can sign up at http://tinyurl.com/yhdistyskoulutus-2013. If you have any training-related questions or suggestions, please contact us at jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi.

7. Junk bikes were collected from AYY’s locations in Teekkari Village

Junk bikes were collected by the Village Senate on Tuesday, 5 Nov. Bikes are stored in two containers at JMT 6 parking lot and the adjacent lawn area. Containers are locked and also the bikes outside the containers are locked in a chain. Bikes are now stored for three (3) months, until the beginning of February 2014.

Bikes are still the property of their original owners and should not be touched. If you did not remember to take the pink paper band off your bike or if you are in any doubt whether your bike is still in a safe place, be sure to check the matter right away. If your bike is not where you left it, please contact the Village Senate (kylasenaatti@list.ayy.fi). Please spread the word to your friends who are undertaking student exchange, etc. Please note that bikes were also collected from bike stores and cellars.

The destiny of the bikes is still being discussed with the authorities and any auction, etc. will be announced later on the e-mail list of Teekkari Village, the official facebook site of the village and AYY’s weekly newsletter.

8. TransHelsinki 2013 – events around the metropolitan region on 19–24 Nov 2013

TransHelsinki is a nationwide event aimed at gender minorities, which provides programme targeted at trans persons and people close to them, as well as seminars open to all. The goal of the week is to bring up the main human rights violations subject to sexual minorities, but also to give voice to creativity, knowledge and experiences among trans persons and intersex persons.

The event week includes discussions, political speeches, parties and coffee evenings where we celebrate the diversity of gender and network with people arriving from across Finland. On Wednesday afternoon, a memorial service is held in for trans persons who have died as hate crime victims. TransHelsinki events are directed to everyone whose life is touched by gender diversity, to professionals in different fields, as well as for those who want to know more about gender diversity.

TransHelsinki events are organised by Seta and its Transgender Support Center, Trasek, Dreamwear Club, Amnesty’s Finnish department and Culture Collective Utopia Helsinki. Events are mainly free of charge.

The programme of the week and information on TransHelsinki is available at http://transhelsinki.fi

11. Join Startup Weekend Helsinki and go from idea to launch in 54 hours!

Startup Weekends are 54-hour-events, where developers, researchers, scientists, marketers and other entrepreneurial enthusiasts meet each other to create and develop ideas into business in multidisciplinary teams.

The next event takes place on Viikki campus from 22-24 Nov 2013. It is organised as a joint force between voluntary students and staff from both University of Helsinki and Aalto University.

The target group is in particular the students or alumni from universities and the universities of applied sciences in the capital area. However the event welcomes anyone interested in entrepreneurship regardless of their age or background!
