- Survey on training wishes for the associations
AYY is again organising association training on 8.12. at Design Factory and planning of the training is now beginning. An English session will be arranged separately according to demand. Now we’re hoping that as many associations as possible will reply to the survey regarding the training, which we’ll use to plan the association training of December and possible separate training sessions. There is time to reply to the survey until 2.10. and there’ll be a prize draw for the respondents for a free booking of the premises at either the Otaniemi Tietosauna or the Vaasankatu sauna and cabinet, to be used by 31.5.2017. Note that reservations after Jan 1st 2017 can be made after advance bookings, but you can also use the free reservation in the advance bookin period. More information about advance booking later on.

- Communications 101 for the weekly newsletter
The weekly newsletter is published during the academic year on Mondays in three languages. Materials must be sent to tiedotteet@ayy.fi on the Thursday of the previous week by 10 AM. The information officer will then edit the content and send it for translation. If proficiency in a specific language is essential for your notice, state it in the text explicitly, e.g. “The seminar will be in Finnish!” to make sure it will be included in the other language versions. The translations are available for viewing at ayy.fi on Monday – take advantage of them with your Facebook events, for example. Texts delivered in English will be published in English in all language versions.
The optimal length of a notice is about two paragraphs + link for more information. This amounts to about 100 words, 750 characters or 10 lines. The more concise the text, the better. Remember to give your text a catchy title!
By default, one notice is published in the newsletter once. If there are few other notices, one news item may be published several times. The student union’s own announcements and those of organizations operating in the immediate sphere of the union take priority over other news. You can state a desired week of publication for your notice. Also, let us know if the time of publication is crucial for some promotional event, for example. Without any special information/wishes, notices will be published in the newsletter about 1-2 weeks before the big date (i.e. date of the event, deadline for sign-ups).
Questions? Feedback? Suggestions? Contact AYY information officer Henna Palonen at tiedottaja(ä)ayy.fi or 0505209440.
- The equality survey of AYY and Aalto University
Have you experienced inappropriate behaviour at student dos? Have you noticed discrimination in teaching situations? In the student associations, does everyone have the same rights? AYY and Aalto University are trying to find answers to these questions and others with an equality survey, the results of which will be utilised in coming projects to further equality.
As a prize, after responding one 100-euro gift card for the Stockmann department store will be drawn amongst those who have submitted their contact details, as well as a number of smaller prizes. The contact details are stored separately and cannot be connected to the replies to the equality survey.
