The Aino magazine and Helsingin Sanomat have published news pieces on inappropriate parties organized in Otaniemi. The Aalto University Student Union commits to the goal of Aalto University in offering all students an equal and egalitarian environment.

Racism or other forms of inappropriate treatment should not be tolerated. Overreactions can be prevented by discussing and learning from past mistakes.

AYY wants to be involved in creating a safe environment for all students of the Aalto University, regardless of the background of any student or situation, and in supporting the associations operating in its sphere of influence in fulfilling this goal.

AYY organizes training to association actives every year. In January 2018 a first time training on ”Turvallisesti tapahtumissa” (Safe at events) , where event security which takes all participants into account on matters both physical and other was under review. 

AYY continues to organize training pertaining to event security. ”Turvallisesti tapahtumissa” training material can be requested from jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi
