3. Participate in the organising of Tempaus 2016! DL 31 Jan 2016

The last Tempaus event was organised when Aalto University was formed. At the time, students formed a human chain from Otaniemi all the way to Arabia in Helsinki. Tempaus events are a way for the students to participate in topical matters in a light-hearted but at the same time serious manner. Now is again the time to roll up our sleeves and organise a new Tempaus event. If you are interested, please apply and participate in the creating of this unique spectacle! Check out http://tempaus.fi and apply!

7. Mediterranean sailing trip of Teekkaripurjehtijat

In the middle of winter frost, Teekkaripurjehtijat offers a glimmer of warmth, sun, turquoise waters and a spinnaker filled with wind. Now you have an excellent opportunity to extend your summer in the Mediterranean sailing trip after your summer job ends and before the autumn term starts. Last year, we fell in love with Croatia and Salona sailboats so much that we decided to go there again. We also have the option to use a catamaran!

When: Saturday, 3-10 Sept 2016

Where: Split, Croatia

Registration will open at 12noon on Monday, 25 Jan 2016!!! More information and registration instructions:

9. Club Lagoon is here again!

Come and experience the best summer party of the winter organised by KY’s Cultural Section. Please wear your overalls or beach clothing and surround yourself with palm trees and the hot sun. Club Lagoon will take you to a sunny place far away from the darkness of the winter and you do not have to travel beyond Kamppi! All are welcome, with or without overalls. After all, sunshine belongs to everyone! See you at the Circus on 28 January.

10. Silent retreat

Silent retreat for students and the personnel of education institutions in Heponiemi on 8-10 Apr 2016. Come and take a break in the middle of the busy spring term.

The silent retreat is a good way to recharge your batteries, relax and take time to your own thoughts. At the retreat, you have the opportunity to rest, spend time outdoors and read. We provide good food, beautiful environment and praying together in a chapel. You can discuss with the instructor at agreed times.

The retreat is intended for students and personnel of universities, universities of applied sciences and vocational schools. The retreat is organised at Heponiemi Retreat Centre in Karjalohja. University Pastors Margit Peltovirta and Jenny Vainio are the retreat instructors.
