The Aalto Party takes place on 5 September 2018 at Alvarin aukio, Otaniemi at 4–8 pm. We welcome all associations, sections, guilds, etc. with an Aalto background to introduce themselves at the Aalto Party.
Why?
Showcase your association and acquaint yourself with the Aalto community! Come up with some activities for the Aalto Party so you can tell people about yourselves, make new friends and liven up the Party!
The Aalto Party brings together students and staff to celebrate the beginning of the new academic year. The yearly number of visitors is around 3 500 and growing each year.
How?
Register your association for participation using this form by Sunday 26 August: https://www.webropolsurveys.com/S/AF1079CEEC58CE56.par
All you need is to be an association within AYY and able to organise activities that the Party guests can participate in, and also able to keep things in hand in general!
We will support your programme with 70 €, as long as you register your association and activities in advance and are accepted as part of the Aalto Party.
When?
5 September 2018. Association registration by Sunday 26 August.

4. Come and take part in creating a film festival!
As a part of AYYs the Year of Arts, we will experience Elossa festival. Elossa is a film festival curated by students and student groups, and we would like to see students from all of Aalto’s schools and student communities take part in planning the festival. The festival will be held between the 29th of October and the 3rd of November at Kino Tapiola and Kino Sheryl.
You can sign in and participate on making the festival program until Sun 19th of Aug before midnight. Be quick and read more: /en/blog/2018/08/13/come-and-take-part-in-creating-a-film-festival/
5. ECTS credits for student actives
Hello, active students!
Have you worked actively in the Aalto University Student Union (in a section, for example), in an association operating within AYY (as a board member or an officer), or in the University as a student representative in administration in 2017? You can gain study credits for it.
The course (3 credits) includes writing a reflection report on what you have learned in the task and participation in a peer learning seminar.
Click the link to see course details: https://mycourses.aalto.fi/course/view.php?id=19730 (in Finnish).
AYY has consistently emphasised the importance of organisational activity for the development of individual know-how, which is why we are happy that the Aalto University has decided to award study credits for students’ work in associations. For more information, please contact AYY’s educational policy expert, Minna Mäkitalo, who has contributed to the format of the course: minna.makitalo (a) ayy.fi.
6. AYY’s space survey
Thank you for the valuable feedback and opinions to all the associations that took the survey on AYY’s spaces! The prize (free use of an AYY rentable space) went to OUBS ry. The winner has received instructions on how to redeem their prize via email.
Best regards,
