2. The Year of Arts
This year, AYY is celebrating the Year of Arts! The aim of the Year of Arts is to highlight the creativity and artistic activities of the entire Student Union. Let’s welcome all the ARTS students to our shared Otaniemi campus with this theme!
The Year of Arts is not just a project for the Student Union’s Central Office, but also a theme that involves the sections and associations. The theme of the year is visible in the Student Union’s activities in many ways, but above all, AYY wants to encourage all associations working within its sphere of influence to take art into account and bring it out in their own activities. Art should look like its creator, so open your mind and experiment!
The Otaniemi Night of Arts is the highlight of the Year of Arts. It is a cross-artistic city festival, consisting of several events in the campus area. Content made by students form the essence of the event, and the target group is the Aalto community and Espoo. The Otaniemi Night of Arts will be held on Saturday, the 6th of October, and we hope that all associations operating within the Student Union will take part in it to organize high-quality events! Registration opens soon, so keep your eyes and ears open and start brainstorming ideas with your association!
If you have any questions related to the Year of Arts, please contact Tero Uuttana at tero.uuttana (a) ayy.fi.
3. GDPR – ways to collect, store and use personal information
Is your association still unclear on how to collect or store event sign-ups in accordance with the requirements of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation? How to make sure that only the people concerned can access the information?
We have collected various implementation methods at https://inside.ayy.fi/display/TIET/Tietosuoja (requires logging in with your Aalto University ID). The regulation will come into effect already in two weeks, on the 25th of May 2018!
4. Association events into the yearly calendar 2018-19
AYY and TOKYO are creating a design calendar for the year 2018-19 to celebrate the move of ARTS to Otaniemi. The design calendar is handed out free of charge to members, like the traditional AYY calendar. The calendar will contain a list of events organized by organizations associations operating within AYY’s sphere of influence.
Go and add your association’s upcoming events into the following Excel Online file: https://ayyfi.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/viestinta/EfOsbZ0GgGJPoPUEaVel0Z8BOxInnozQmq3uNDIXYcd0Mg?e=6ZtQR2 Add your event by the 27th of May 2018 to ensure that it will be on the list in the calendar!
