Hey student, interested in student health and well-being? Pondering on equality, thinking of how to help well-being and alleviate stress for yourself and people around you? How could the heightened risk for burn-out of students be eased? AYY, Aalto and FSHS have undertaken a large array of surveys concerning student health and well-being, and the data has both positive and worrying news regarding the health of students. It is time to make that data work!

Welcome to join AYY’s open Social policy council and Studies council meeting on the 10th of May to discuss and solve problems pertaining to the subject. The meeting is held at Otakaari 1, at the Deloitte-hall (U119) between 16:00 and 18:00. We have an expert present, along with a presentation into the subject by AYY, so you do not need previous information on the subject to participate. Interest in the subject and willing to increasing the equality and health of students is enough!

Sign up by 9th of May with the link attached, so we can prepare the right amount of refreshments.

7. Humans vs Zombies in Otaniemi on the 4th and 5th of May

Apocalypse!

The zombie virus is spreading! Does humanity have any chance against the ever-growing zombie horde? This year, the virus emerges from the labs of the rich elite. “They” created it to make people their brain dead slaves who work endlessly and contaminate more humans. Can the humans prevent this vicious plan or will the world turn into a giant factory to create more capital for the rich?

Humans vs. Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. The game also includes various tasks to make it more interesting. Teamwork is the key to success, so meeting new people is guaranteed.

The game is completely free of charge and happens in Otaniemi 24/7 on the 4^th and 5^th of May. On Sunday, we will organize a closing sauna for debriefing and prize-giving.

More information, rulest, etc. at the FB event https://www.facebook.com/events/1099197960185814/

Signup at https://lomake.ayy.fi/aava/human-vs-zombies-spring-2017/

15. Hitchball 4000 hitchhiking competition June 2-4

Hitchball 4000 is a weekend-long adventure during which teams of two people hitchhike across Finland and neighboring countries and complete fun challenges along the way. A GPS tracking system allows fellow competitors, friends, worried relatives and random drivers to follow the race and the progress of their favorite team in real time.

The winner is the team that with a cunning tactic collects the most points from checkpoints located in iconic and absurd places all over the country, and gets back in time as well. The winning team will get to decorate their home with the Hitchball 4000 Cup – to which its name will be engraved – for one year. In addition to the main prize, one team will be awarded with the Spirit of Hitchball award, with separate criteria.

“Hitchhiking as an experience is one of a kind. Our eyes were opened, the faith in humankind was restored and our goal was reached by being totally at the mercy of strangers, and the resulting feeling is, as said by so many others after the experience, awesome.”

Where is the world’s largest reindeer statue? What’s in Napue Gin? Is Santa Claus real? To find out, find yourself a team mate of the opposite gender and take a leap of faith to the next level! The most exciting and eye-opening weekend of your summer is gonna be on June 2nd-4th and registration is open through www.lyyti.fi/reg/hb4000. Registration is filling up quickly and will end latest on May 5th, so be quick!
