3. 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 11^th 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.

If you have any questions, please contact

4. Sign your association up for the Campus Expo!

The Campus Expo is coming again on the 3^rd of October 2017 from 11:00 to 15:00, held in the familiar surroundings of Otakaari 1! We are searching for associations to host stands or checkpoints to explain and showcase their activities. Because the event is a part of Aalto Wellbeing Weekend this year, a criterion for associations is that the activities would be tied to the theme, well-being.

Interested? Fill up the form below by Sunday 24^th of September. Please let us know in the application how your stand or checkpoint would fit with the theme!

6. To culture and art associations: Cultural test and development project funding / Involvement and participation

Application period: 20^th June 2017–28^th September 2017

More info: http://minedu.fi/avustukset/avustus/-/asset_publisher/kulttuurin-kokeilu-ja-kehittamishankeavustukset-osallisuus-ja-osallistuminen

The test and development project funding is intended for increasing involvement and participation in culture and culture services and broadening the target audience of culture services.

The aim of the funding is to increase people’s involvement in culture and their participation in various culture services, as well as to broaden the target audience of culture services. In addition, the aim is to remove obstacles for participation, to deepen the experiences and effects of participation, and to promote the interaction between the parties offering services and their audiences. Special emphasis is placed on people who rarely take part in culture and cultural events. Traditional methods, digital methods or a combination of both can be utilized in the means and models used to forward the aims.

The funding is intended for legally competent communities working with culture and art, such as associations, foundations and corporations.
