Join the tradition of the students’ torchlight procession on Finland’s 106th Independence Day on Wed 6 Dec!

The student unions of the Helsinki metropolitan area ArtSU, AYY, HYY, SHS, ASK, Helga, Laureamko, O’Diako and METKA and the Cadet and Officer Corps Association are once again organising the Students’ Independence Day Procession.
In addition to the procession, the event will feature choral singing and speeches from representatives of the student unions and the mayor of Helsinki.

The festivities will begin with the laying of wreaths at Hietaniemi Cemetery Hero’s Cross at 4pm, and the procession will start from the chapel of Hietaniemi Cemetery at approx. 5pm. The event will end at approximately 6.15pm.
The procession is filled with festive atmosphere and light in the spirit of the forward-looking student movement. Put on your student’s cap / teekkari cap / weather-appropriate cap and warm outerwear. We recommend that flagbearers and heralds wear dark clothing, but the dress code for everyone else is ’come as you are’!

The Guild of Architecture´s Äljöttely Competition

This Monday starts Äljöttely competition! November is the best month of the year, the month of Äljöttely. This year the competition lasts 10 days!

Äljöttely might be an unknown concept for many, so it is necessary to open it slightly.
Äljöttely means hanging out uselessly at the Guild Room. In other words, studying, working remotely, or doing other productive activities is not considered as Äljöttely. You may do Äljöttely either alone or with some friends. Coffee is the recommended sports drink in the competition.

The winner of Äljöttely competition is the person who does Äljöttely the most within a 10 days. The participants will register the daily time consumed in Äljöttely in a form.
The competition starts on Monday the 20th of October and ends on Tuesday the 30th of November.

Everybody is liable to mark their own minutes reliably and correctly. In case of fraud of any kind, a score may be disqualified.

The winner of the competition will be announced on December 6th at the Hangover brunch of Wähäjoulu. Addition to honor and glory, the winner will also get their name on the wall of the Guild room. Good luck!

Instructions in a nutshell:
Go to Guild room
Do nothing productive
Have fun
Register the daily minutes
