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.
