2. Are you wondering about the well-being of the members in your community?

The Aalto study psychologists are happy to help if you want to discuss this issue alone or in a group. We are also happy to attend your association’s meetings.

The best way to reach us is to send an email to opintopsykologi@aalto.fi.

 

3. Come work at the Teekkarisillis!

We offer associations the opportunity to make some money at the Teekkari Tradition Party’s Teekkarisillis.

We need a group of at least 15 eager people to work at the Teekkarisillis on the 11th of November from 8:00 to 22:00. The work includes everything from the morning arrangements to cooking and cleaning. We will pay a compensation of 1000€ to the association for their work.

If your association is unable recruit the required number of workers for the Teekkarisillis, you can also split the job between two associations. It would be best if one association could handle the whole job, however.

If you want to sign up or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

  1. Volunteer for the Dipoli Independence Day reception – Associations will be compensated

Does your association need funds for a purchase or an excursion? Do you have keen volunteers to help with the largest Independence Day event of the year?

This year, the volunteers are recruited through associations, because compensation is being paid for volunteering to the association, which they must be able to invoice. Help is needed in the cloakroom, decorations, final cleanup and catering, possibly for other tasks as well.

Apply by sending an informal application by the 11th of September. The application should include the following details:

-what are you gathering funds for (excursion, event, purchase or something else)

-how many volunteers would you bring

-preferred amount of payment with arguments and grounds

Please note that the decisions on payment are based on the overall assessment, so it is possible that the sum offered will differ from the amount you applied for. In this situation, the association can turn down the offer. If there are more applications than slots for volunteers, the associations are chosen based on the applications.

  1. Your association’s events to the student calendar

AYY’s printed student calendar has traditionally contained different events organized by associations, so those who use the calendar can easily keep track of stuff. This will also be the case in the calendar for 2017-18.

Below is a Google docs link, where you can add your events. You can find instructions in the document.

The absolute deadline for this is on the 31st of May before midnight!

Have a great spring and don’t hesitate to contact tiedottaja@ayy.fi

 

3. Sign up until May 21st: Competition for associations – the most internationalised will be rewarded!

How to make your association more international? AYY is organizing a competition for associations, rewarding the association that has made the most developments in internationalisation during 2017. The means for internationalisation and opening new participation opportunities for international students can be freely chosen by the associations, but inspiration can be sought from the ABC-guide, made to help with the process.

The association with most advancement in internationalisation will be rewarded at the association assembly in December 2017 with praise, glory and a free sauna booking at one of AYY’s saunas. We won’t award an association that’s already very international, but rather one that has developed their organization the most towards international activities during the ongoing year. Sign up with the link below, plan on how to integrate internationality into your events and operations, and prepare to report your development in November 2017. In the report you must open up what you’ve done differently this year with, for example, the enrolment of new students, information coordination or events, and what you’ve learned along the way.

Sign up here.

Sign up latest on 21st of May!

 

  1. OLL is looking for a student group of 20 people to take care of a refreshment station in the Helsinki City Marathon – earn 500 euros for your association!

The Finnish Student Sports Federation OLL has helped the Helsinki City Marathon every year by gathering a student association for one refreshment station, which is responsible for e.g. the distribution of water and sports drink to the participants. For several years, the refreshment station has been located in Helsinki, around Lauttasaari and Ruoholahti.

This year, the marathon will take place on Saturday, the 12th of August 2017, starting at 15:00, and 20 people must be at the refreshment station between 14:00 and 20:30. The refreshment station team can consist of e.g. a subject organization, student sports club or some other student association.

The people at the refreshment station are responsible for the following:

– One or more people must visit a refreshment station meeting organized by HCM in June (time and place will be announced soon). At the meeting, you will receive more information on hydration, and the location of the refreshment station will be confirmed.

– Gathering a group of at least 20 people for the entire marathon (there must be at least 20 people at the refreshment station for the entire time, because the refreshment station can get crowded during the marathon and thousands of participants will run through the station).

– Assembling the tables at the refreshment station.

– Mixing buckets of water with sports drink powder and filling the cups.

– Filling the water cups.

– Keeping the refreshment station tidy during the entire marathon.

– Helping the runners to the water/sports drink.

– Cleaning the area after the marathon and disassembling the tables.

OLL will pay a reward of 500 euros to the association’s account after the marathon.

You can also take audio equipment and e.g. your association’s shirts or banners with you to the refreshment station. So gather yourself a nice group and reply to this message as soon as possible! The fastest association will be given the task of running the refreshment station, but you must be sure at this point that you will have 20 people at the refreshment station for the entire time.
