III Of Interest

Sailing Courses

Teekkaripurjehtijat (TRIP) organise practical sailing courses authorised by the Finnish association of sailing instructors, Purjehduksenopettajat ry (Pory). The possibility of arranging English-speaking courses depends on the number of interested participants and the availability of teachers.

You can sign up either for the elementary level Sailing Crew Course or for the Inshore Skipper Course whereby you concentrate on route planning, navigation, skippering and safety and emergency procedures.

Design the Design Notebook of TOKYO and AYY

The design calendar is now a design notebook! Are you the designer whose work is in everyone’s hands this autumn? Designer competition is running from March 15th to April 6th at 12 noon!

Next autumn, a new kind of design notebook will be published instead of the traditional academic year calendar of TOKYO and AYY. The notebook published at the beginning of the autumn term can be used as a bullet journal like a calendar, as a traditional notebook or even as a diary. We hope that the notebook is useful to more and more members of the Aalto community.  

Are you the designer that we are looking for? The contest will start on Monday, 15 Mar 2021. Please submit your entry no later than Tuesday, 6 Apr 2021 at 12.00 noon!
