2.    Students’ booking practices for Aalto University facilities

“Students may use teaching facilities when they have not been reserved for teaching purposes. Availability can be seen in the reservation list outside the facility (last minute changes are possible).

The facilities must be left in the condition in which they were found.

The meeting rooms on the fifth floor of OK1 are used primarily by staff. Students may use the rooms if they are empty but must leave if and when the rooms are needed by staff.

More information in here: /en/students/services/rental-of-facilities/students-booking-practices-for-aalto-university-facilities/

3.    Apply for civilian service at the AYY

Did you know that your Student Union serves as a civilian service site in accordance with the Non-Military Service Act (1446/2007)? At the moment, the Student Union offers three (3) work service positions at a time: those of a property assistant, graphic designer (AD) and IT support person.

The start dates for each position can be found from the directory of the Civilian Service Centre. Unfortunately, the Student Union cannot take on a new person who is obliged to do civilian service significantly before the work term of the previous person obliged to do civilian service ends. At the moment, we’re looking for a property assistant who could start in their role as soon as possible and a graphic designer to start in August.

We appreciate creativity, accuracy and co-operative ability. The AYY offers civilian service workers a pleasant working environment in Otaniemi, Espoo, cheerful and nice colleagues, accommodation near the workplace and other legally-decreed benefits.

You can read more detailed information about the contents of the roles on the web pages of the AYY at /siviilipalvelus/.

If you are interested in the Student Union as a civilian service location, contact the General Secretary of the Student Union (paasihteeri@ayy.fi / 050 520 9415).

4.    The wait is finally over! – Tempaus2016 is here

Come to Alvarin aukio on 20th April at 5pm to see what the biggest phenomenon of the year, Tempaus2016, has in store for you! https://www.facebook.com/events/510618449124335/

5.    Apply for a study grant for your project

Aalto University and its student union allocate in cooperation study grants for incredible projects that promote studies and learning. You can apply for the grant by yourself, together with your friend or association – as long as the idea is good, we want to help you to implement it!

The application period is continuous and applications are processed on a monthly basis, the idea is that your good idea does not get old and you could implement it straight away. Applications are processed and approved by Aalto University Student Union’s academic affairs sector and Aalto University’s vice president in charge of teaching.

6.    Propose the recipients of the acknowledgement of the AYY!

Do you know of a pioneer, an open-minded bridge-builder or a cross-disciplinary toiler in the Aalto community who deserves recognition?

 

You can propose the recipient of an AYY community badge, merit badge, honour badge or hero badge at https://lomake.ayy.fi/hallinto/bling/ until 20.4.

 

7.    Tell us about your wishes for the new premises of the AYY!

In the near future, the Student Union has the opportunity to undertake many construction projects. For the planning, we need guidance on what kinds of premises the users want. Premises can be built in conjunction with new student flats and also in separate properties. Go and tell us your wishes here (https://lomake.ayy.fi/hallinto/tilakysely/) by Thursday 14.4.2016!

8.    The Tools for Nervous Situations workshop

Nervous about performing in public? Or about group work? Does it feel difficult to get to know new people? How about answering questions in class?

This workshop is for students whose studies are distracted by nervousness and who would like to find ways of coping with it. There are many types of nervousness: one person is nervous about public performance, another about social situations, a third about something else. The workshop provides an opportunity to process different situations and nervousness. The workshop is in Finnish.

Meetings are on Mondays at 12 AM – 2 PM, from April 18 to May 16, 2016. Sign up at opintopsykologi(at)aalto.fi by April 13. For more information: https://into.aalto.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=18387906″

9.    Come to plan the development co-operation week!

The AYY is organising a development co-operation work week in October, the purpose of which is to raise awareness of global issues and development co-operation work as a part of an Aalto person’s career and life. If you are interested or want to learn more about development co-operation work, take part in our first meeting at the centre office of the AYY (Otakaari 11), in the upstairs meeting room on Thursday 21.4. at 6 pm to hear more!

You do not have to have experience of development co-operation work. Everyone is welcome to come and generate ideas, even if they won’t be in Finland in the autumn. If you can’t make it, send a mail to the address saana.rossi@ayy.fi and we’ll get in touch with you.

The Helsinki Academic Male Choir (KYL) and the Tikelo film club are arranging a concert at the Savoy theatre which combines choral singing and films in a new way. The pieces to be performed have even surpassed the films that they come from in terms of how widely they are known. In the background, extracts from the films will be shown on the screen along with the animation art of the video artist Sellekhanks. The duration of the concert is one and a half hours.

12.                  Teekkarispeksi 2016 – Atlantis 1860

Welcome with the spring 2016 Teekkarispeksi to the coast of Britain in the year of 1860! In a village community living on an isolated island, people fear God, dream of London and are building a railway bridge to the mainland. The tranquility of the small village begins to become fractured when Madame Blavatsky, who is devoted to mystical learnings, appears on the island and arouses a state of fixation on Atlantis. Whose faith is the true one? Who stays and who leaves? Will the mythical Atlantis be found?

 

The running time of the performance is about three hours, including intervals.

The ticket office and further information can be found at: http://www.teekkarispeksi.fi/

Ticket prices €12-26

Coming performances:

15.4. Tampere, Hällä Stage

17.4. Helsinki, Alexander Theatre

18.4. Helsinki, Alexander Theatre

19.4. Helsinki, Alexander Theatre
