The English-language training is organised on Thursday 29 Nov from 4 pm to 7 pm at AYY’s office (Otakaari 11, Espoo, upstairs). The training will include communications and the basics for association work, but you can also request specific topics.

The target group is English-speaking association actives, and as the space is limited (approx. 20 persons), please attend only if you are in the target group. Max. 4 persons per association.

If there are more than four persons in your association’s actives that are in the target group and they wish to participate, please contact Organisational Affairs Specialist Essi Puustinen (essi.puustinen at ayy.fi), and we will work something out.

You can sign up here: https://lomake.ayy.fi/yhdistykset/ayys-association-training-in-english/ Sign-up closes on 21 Nov at 11.59 pm.

You can also take part in the Finnish-language association training. This is organised at the Design Factory in Otaniemi on Tue 27 Nov and Wed 28 Nov. The first day offers new operators the basics on association operations, and on the latter training day, we will delve deeper into some current themes. Detailed information in Finnish:
Tue 27th Nov – Basics /blog/events/ayyn-yhdistyskoulutus-2/
Wed 28th Nov – Themes /blog/events/ayyn-yhdistyskoulutus-3/

 

2. Comment round for associations on the development proposals for AYY’s organisational structures coming on 19–28 Nov!
There is a development project of community and organisational structures in progress at Aalto University Student Union. The goal of the project is to discover via surveys, interviews and discussions how the cooperation of associations operating within AYY and the structures of the Aalto community could be developed in a way that would make the roles of different parties clearer than before. The goal of the project is a more unified student community in which the students of the different schools will be taken into account as equals better than before.

The first part of the project were the charting surveys sent to associations in September on the current situation and development needs of the structures. Thank you to all associations that took the time to answer the survey! At the moment, the project is progressing with focus group discussions in which the associations that answered the survey are forming solution models for the challenges brought up in the surveys and advance discussions.

The solution models will be sent on a comment round to all associations and volunteers on 19–28 Nov, so it’s worth reserving time from a meeting or other get-together now to comment on the solution models. Each association is meant to send only one answer, so it’s important that you take time aside from your meetings for a collective discussion. The project’s results will influence the composition of the association and volunteer fields in the future, so it’s very important that you make your views known.

If you have any questions regarding the project, send a message to Project Coordinator Elina Nieminen at elina.nieminen(a)ayy.fi.

 

 

3. Are you interested in developing equality in the Aalto community?
Equality has been a conversation point in the Student Union as well as the wider society. We at the Student Union now want to find out what would be the best way to chart the state of equality in the Aalto community. In early 2019, we will be collecting information about these experiences with a member survey, and now, we are in need of some help from interested parties for creating the survey!

We are organising a workshop on Wednesday 21 Nov in Avain Sauna (Otaranta 8E) at 4–6 pm. There will be some light bites on offer, so please sign up for the event by 19 Nov at the latest. Everyone is welcome to attend with their own language skills; we will be using Finnish and English at the event as working languages.

Sign up at: https://lomake.ayy.fi/sosiaalipolitiikka/planeringsworkshop-for-jamlikhetsenkaten-21-11/?lang=en

 

4. Version update in the IT services used by associations
AYY offers associations IT services, which will have a version update in December. Please sign up for the mailing list if you are in charge of your association’s website in order to get the latest on the updates.

Otax.fi is the web hotel AYY offers its associations which offers website services and mailing lists. A php version update takes place in otax.fi in December. For the update, service users should make sure that their website is functional before the change. For the change, a separate server will be set up alongside otax.fi from which the updated version can be found.

Check whether the person in charge of your association’s website on AYY’s server is on the mailing list on which the dates and version numbers of the change are explained in more detail. If they have missed signing up for the mailing list, they can do this at https://list.ayy.fi/mailman/listinfo/otax-web-masters.

Additionally, in March next year, the main user notification for otax.fi must be filled in. In order for next year’s operators to be set up for using the service, now is a good time to make sure that the association’s internal documentation is up to date. Next year’s notifications will be gone through more closely than normal.

In all of your association’s IT-related matters, you can contact tietotekniikka(a)ayy.fi.

 

5. Should the University change? Apply to Student representative in administration!
Student representatives in administration, or Hallopeds, are regular students who participate in the decision-making and development of the University. Students are the best experts on their own studying and the everyday of teaching. There are more than 250 posts up for grabs. The Student Union appoints the Hallopeds for a one-calendar-year term, and all members of the Student Union are eligible to apply. The application is open on 21 Oct–3 Dec 2018.

There are student representatives in the degree programmes, departments, schools and the University’s central administration. The organs include the academic affairs committees, educational councils and various other committees. The Student Union, the persons in charge of Hallopeds and the organisations’ persons in charge of studies will support the advocacy work.

The official call for applications and a list of positions for 2019: /en/blog/2018/10/29/ayy-is-looking-for-student-representatives-for-2019/

The Student Union’s Halloped regulations: https://inside.ayy.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12615832&preview=/12615832/17268748/Halloped_ohjesaanto_EN.pdf

For further information, contact laura.luoto(a)ayy.fi or minna.makitalo(a)ayy.fi.

 

6. Apply to be in charge of the AYY10 anniversary year!
Our beloved Student Union has been forging ahead for some years already, and we are soon celebrating our first full decade. Now is, at last, the time to start recruiting for the position many have been waiting for: the person in charge of the AYY10 anniversary year!

As the person in charge of the anniversary year, you will be right at the heart of conceptualising and executing the anniversary year and the 10th annual ball itself. Will the anniversary year feature separate anniversary year spectacles, or will the usual events be organised bigger than before and with an AYY10 twist? How can we make the entire community participate in the anniversary year? And in particular, of course: where and how to organise the culmination itself, the annual ball that ends the anniversary year? You will be coordinating the section you recruit and ensure that this party will remain a conversation point for the Aalto community for a long time to come!

Application opens on Monday 5 Nov and ends on Monday 3 Dec. Apply to make AYY history!

More information: /stop/en/ayy10/

 

7. Apply to AYY’s Sections or Committees for 2019!
The former of AYY’s Board has been elected, and candidates for the Board are currently being interviewed. Next to close is the application to Chairs of AYY’s Sections on Friday 23 Nov. Application to AYY Section members remains open until 3 Dec and to the Committees for the whole of December.

There are all kinds of positions on offer: for example, you can apply to join the organising of the Wappu Party (Teekkari Section/Party Committee) or the Aalto Afterparty (Aava/Afterparty Committee), to execute various sporting events (Aava/Outdoor Sports Committee), to renovate rentable facilities (Campus Section) or to advocate student benefits as an Aalto Halloped.

And these were just a few of the volunteer positions at AYY: learn more about all of them at ayy.fi/stop/en/!

As per its policy paper, AYY is also aiming for a campus area that supports student activity in all its forms. Altogether new sections include e.g. the themes related to information society, arts policy and equality.

5. Apply for AYY’s exchange grant!
In the autumn, AYY is handing out exchange grants to support the internationalisation and active community action of students. The exchange grant can be applied for by those who are going on an exchange, are on an exchange at the moment and those AYY members who have returned from an exchange after April 2018.

The grant is meant for the degree students of Aalto University.

The grant can be applied for from 12 noon on 24.10 to 11:59 pm, 14.11.

You can find further information about the grants and an application form here: /en/students/services/scholarships/

 

6. Store traces of your association operations in history
Is it easy to forget archiving? What is it necessary and worthwhile to archive in the first place? Is your archiving often left to the end of the year without you even noticing? Now is a good time to grab hold of it in order to avoid panic in December.

The archive of Aalto University Student Union offers the associations operating within it storage space, equipment and advice on archiving. Archiving is meant to give future operators a vivid idea of the association’s operations. It is worth archiving all self-produced materials relating to the association’s operations as well as other materials that might interest the next generations, all marked appropriately. Tips for limiting your archiving can be found, for example, on the Yhdistystoimijat website (in Finnish).

What is important is that archiving is kept in mind and executed throughout the year. Don’t be afraid to ask for some tips and contact arkisto(a)ayy.fi.

 

7. Tableware rental for associations operating within AYY
AYY promotes ecology, and one way to reduce unnecessary waste is to use less disposable tableware at events. In the Otaranta club room, there’s a set of dishes that can be used by anyone renting the space. The other rental spaces have less tableware, but there are rental opportunities that include e.g. delivery to site and returning the dishes unwashed. Jalostajat and Astiva have inexpensive offers for associations within AYY, the details of which are listed below:

Jalostajat:
The Otaniemi refinement club Jalostajat rents dinnerware for 220 people flexibly and inexpensively to groups operating in Otaniemi! Delivery within the Otaniemi area is free of charge, and its cost to external locations will be decided separately depending on the distance. Additionally, the price includes dishwashing, so the dishes can be returned unwashed! The tableware can be rented by email at astiasto(a)jalostajat.fi, and we’re also happy to answer any questions about the tableware.

Astiva:
– agreement is open-ended, excluding high school graduation week in the spring
– discount always at least 20%; the earlier you book, the more room we have -> the bigger the discount
– orders need to be made at least 2 weeks beforehand (depending on availability)
– specified quantities only need to be given (for weekend events) on the previous Monday
– delivery to the Otaniemi area free of charge Mon–Fri at 9 am–3 pm
– deliveries / pickups at Smökki don’t require anyone to be present, we have a key
– dishwashing is always included in the price, so dishes can be returned unwashed
– payment must be made within 7 days of pickup day, card payment also possible when necessary
– good offers are also available for private parties of AYY members

You’ll get the discount if you send your order directly to astiva(a)astiva.fi and mention that it’s for an association operating within AYY. On the website, you can get the discount by entering the code “AYY2018” when making the order.

This is the AYY association newsletter for week 43/2018

The first exam week of the autumn is just around the corner.

For those working hard on assignments and exams, lots of luck!

1. Store traces of your association operations in history
Is it easy to forget archiving? What is it necessary and worthwhile to archive in the first place? Is your archiving often left to the end of the year without you even noticing? Now is a good time to grab hold of it in order to avoid panic in December.

The archive of Aalto University Student Union offers the associations operating within it storage space, equipment and advice on archiving. Archiving is meant to give future operators a vivid idea of the association’s operations. It is worth archiving all self-produced materials relating to the association’s operations as well as other materials that might interest the next generations, all marked appropriately. Tips for limiting your archiving can be found, for example, on the Yhdistystoimijat website (in Finnish).

What is important is that archiving is kept in mind and executed throughout the year. Don’t be afraid to ask for some tips and contact arkisto(a)ayy.fi.


2. AYY invites you to join the Climate March 20.10.!
AYY invites its associations and all Aalto students to join the Climate March on Saturday, 20.10., for more ambitious environmental policies and decision-making based on scientific research! The goals and details of the Climate March can be found on the Facebook event in three languages: http://bit.ly/ilmastomarssi. Grab your overalls and/or other student symbols with you (if you wish) and join the other students on the event on the east side of the statue on Senate Square, starting from 14:15. More information on the student participation can be found in the sub-event of the Climate March, Opiskelijat ilmastomarssilla.

See you on Saturday, feel free to share the invitation!

On behalf of AYY,

Rosa Väisänen

3. Apply to next year’s AYY Board or Chairs of the Representative Council!
Do you want to get straight into the heart of the Student Union to work for the good of the Aalto community? Apply to the AYY Board for 2019!

As a Board member, you get to be part of AYY’s amazing work community that works towards a common goal, get to know student union operators all around Finland and develop yourself at a dizzying pace with each new project. The Board as a whole is always more than the sum of its members.

An equally excellent option is to apply to the Chairs of AYY’s Representative Council, which is the Student Union’s highest decision-making body. The Council decides upon AYY’s operational plan, budget and result, for example, and also appoints the Board for the Student Union.

The Elossa Film Festival, ending AYY’s Year of the Arts, has released its programme. The programme features films selected by different student communities that are divided into various themes of opposites: human mind & technology, love & hate and power & anarchy. The selection of films ranges all the way from Mad Max to Moulin Rouge, and part of the films are seen as genuine film copies. In the beginning of each screening, short films will be shown that have been made by ELO students. The festival takes place in Kino Tapiola and Kino Sheryl on 29 Oct–3 Nov.

6. Tableware rental for associations operating within AYY
AYY promotes ecology, and one way to reduce unnecessary waste is to use less disposable tableware at events. In the Otaranta club room, there’s a set of dishes that can be used by anyone renting the space. The other rental spaces have less tableware, but there are rental opportunities that include e.g. delivery to site and returning the dishes unwashed. Jalostajat and Astiva have inexpensive offers for associations within AYY, the details of which are listed below:

Jalostajat:

The Otaniemi refinement club Jalostajat rents dinnerware for 220 people flexibly and inexpensively to groups operating in Otaniemi! Delivery within the Otaniemi area is free of charge, and its cost to external locations will be decided separately depending on the distance. Additionally, the price includes dishwashing, so the dishes can be returned unwashed! The tableware can be rented by email at astiasto(a)jalostajat.fi, and we’re also happy to answer any questions about the tableware.

Astiva:
– agreement is open-ended, excluding high school graduation week in the spring
– discount always at least 20%; the earlier you book, the more room we have -> the bigger the discount
– orders need to be made at least 2 weeks beforehand (depending on availability)
– specified quantities only need to be given (for weekend events) on the previous Monday
– delivery to the Otaniemi area free of charge Mon–Fri at 9 am–3 pm
– deliveries / pickups at Smökki don’t require anyone to be present, we have a key
– dishwashing is always included in the price, so dishes can be returned unwashed
– payment must be made within 7 days of pickup day, card payment also possible when necessary
– good offers are also available for private parties of AYY members

You’ll get the discount if you send your order directly to astiva(a)astiva.fi and mention that it’s for an association operating within AYY. On the website, you can get the discount by entering the code “AYY2018” when making the order.

1. AYY’s survey for associations – answering time extended until Sunday 7 Oct at 11.59 pm!
On Friday 21 Sept, a survey was sent to the email address your association has provided in TAHLO regarding the development project of community and organisational structures. The goal of the project is to discover via surveys, interviews and discussions how the structures of the Aalto community and the cooperation of the Student Union and the associations within it could be developed in a way that would make the roles of different parties clearer than before. The goal of the project is a more unified student community in which the students of the different schools will be taken into account as equals better than before.

The survey is meant to help chart the associations’ views on what the relationships between parties operating within AYY are based upon now, and how the different associations and student cultures can be taken into account more equally in the operations.

The survey is answered by way of one representative of the association filling in the association’s views on the survey form based on the discussion that was had in the association’s Board meeting or other get-together. It would be very important for you to find the time to answer the survey from your association’s point of view as the results of this survey will have great impact on the project’s progress. The answering time has been extended to Sunday 7 Oct at 11.59 pm. Thank you!

You can access the survey for the first and second list associations here: https://www.webropolsurveys.com/S/3F3A25652AFBB880.par
