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.

The web seminar looks at the most central legal questions on data protection. In addition, the data protection legislation update for the European Union will be discussed, along with the changes is brings, especially the strict sanctions and how to avoid them. The legal restrictions concerning personal data encompass the entirety of the lifespan of personal data from planning of data management to updating it and until the end of the retention period of data.

More information and signups (in Finnish): https://www.fondia.fi/tietosuoja-kuuluu-kaikille-0

N.B! The training is no doubt useful, but it is mainly aimed at companies with staff and customers (not specifically towards associations), which have personal data registers. Take note of this when signing up.

2. The GDPR sample documents on AYY’s website

Starting from May all organizations handling personal information must comply by the new EU regulation on Data Protection (the GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation).

An important thing to consider is that in about a month, on the 25th of May, each association should have the required documents on data protection and other issues in order with the regulation requirements. More information in doing this can be found here: /en/associations/services/training-and-courses/get-your-gdpr-requirements-in-order/

We are building a more comprehensive guide on GDPR aimed towards associations, along with sample documents with commentary. We will send them as soon as they are ready. If you have any questions on GDPR, you can contact the AYY ICT specialist Petteri Nummela at petteri.nummela(at)ayy.fi.

4. The Aalto chaplains are here for you + egg hunt

Hi! We’re Anu Morikawa and Marjut Mulari, Aalto University chaplains, or just Aalto chaplains for short. We’re at the disposal of the entire university community: the students, staff and associations, regardless of your religion or beliefs.

Life is made up of many elements, and fitting them together is not always easy. Sometimes it’s good to stop and think about what kind of resources you have at your disposal. We like to think that, at its best, our work is preventive – it’s always better to air out your thoughts or concerns in life when things haven’t yet become a complete mess. Sometimes it’s enough to talk to a friend, relative or someone else close to you. Sometimes there are things that you may not want to share with your loved ones, and sometimes talking with a so-called outsider can help open up new perspectives. As chaplains, we have an absolute obligation of secrecy, and you can usually reserve a time to talk with us already for the same day.

We don’t organize any regular activities, but there are events at the Otaniemi Chapel from time to time. In the spring of 2018, there are at least Sunday brunches, creative writing afternoons and, of course, the #munajahti2018 (#egghunt2018) for associations! You can find us on Into: https://into.aalto.fi/x/PAEF and on Instagram: @aaltopapit.

Don’t be afraid to contact us in all big and small questions you may have in your life. You can book a time for a discussion by email or by phone. We’re happy to help all associations in both happy matters as well as in times of crisis and sorrow. You can also just invite us over for a coffee to your guild room, we’ll be happy to come.

The Aalto chaplains’ workstation is located in the Undergraduate Center, room M 136.

The most energetic EGGHUNT of the year at the Otaniemi chapel on Monday 26th of March from 14:00 to 16:00!
The traditional chapel #munajahti2018 is here again! At the egg hunt, teams have 3 minutes to find, gather, hoard, hunt and chase the eggs hidden in the chapel. The eight fastest guild teams are participating, so act fast! Come up with a name for your guild team and sign up for your own laptime on doodle at: http://bit.ly/2FfLiCv. The hunt will be followed with coffee. The hunt is organized by the Aalto chaplains and the Tapiola parish. Don’t miss it!

Submissions for association notices and operating grant applications are now open, and the submission period will end on March 29th, at 12:00 noon. Please start in time and work on the application little by little, as the process takes some time.

All associations within AYY must fill out a yearly association notice. Failing to fill out the notice for two consecutive years or submitting an association notice with clearly inadequate information may lead to the association being removed from the AYY Association Register. Only associations belonging to the first list of AYY’s Association Register can apply for operating grants. You can check which list your association belongs to from the TAHLO system or from the organizational sector (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi).

Where to start? What should I do? Check out the comprehensive instructions: /en/blog/2018/02/28/submissions-for-association-notices-and-operating-grant-applications/ (you can find the answer to almost everything here, read the instructions carefully)

What operating grant? More information: /en/associations/services/operating-grants/
I know what to do! Direct link to the application system: http://tahlo.ayy.fi/
Questions or problems? Send a message to the organizational sector (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi) or call our Organizational Affairs Specialist at 050 520 9442.

The operating grant applications and association notices will be handled as soon as possible during April. Any possible delays will be informed of separately.

You can apply for grants from TTE Fund in two ways: through the application rounds arranged approximately three times a year, and through the continuous application period, which is open during the academic terms. During the continuous application period, you can apply for grants with a maximum amount of 2000€, whereas the amount of project grants during the actual application rounds is not limited.

The second application round of 2018 will end on Sunday, 18 March 2018, at 23:59. Instructions for the application and its attachments are available on the website of the fund at http://tter.ayy.fi/. The grant can be applied for with an online form which is available at: https://lomake.ayy.fi/tter/hakulomake/
