On Wednesday 11.4.2018 the Miestentie café fills up with information when this spring’s WgoARTS is here! The theme this time is: life in Otaniemi

In addition to the final moving info you’ll hear about the farewell to Arabia, opening of Väre and the ARTS moving celebrations. You’ll also get a glimpse from everyday life in the new campus building: What can you do there? Where will Kipsari go? What are the workshops like and what can you use them for?

Joining us for the discussion will be the dean, the head of Learning Services and other staff. The event will start with refreshments at 16.00 and the program will take about two hours depending on the conversation.

WHAT IS EASA?

EASA is short for European Architecture Students’ Assembly. It gathers 500 architecture students annually to meet each other for two weeks and to make architecture workshops together. EASA is organised for architecture students by architecture students.
This year EASA takes place in Rijeka, Croatia on 21.7. – 4.8.
During these 14 days the EASAians form a utopian community which maintains itself – nearly 500 students and professionals work, study, rest, cook, eat, clean and live together. There are participants, tutors, organizers, helpers and guests. The event focuses mostly on the workshops – taking up the majority of time. The event program is essentially packed with lectures, conducted by professionals from divergent spheres of activity, also strongly related to the theme. Exhibitions, open discussions, intuitive one-day workshops and spontaneous performances further investigate the questions arising during the two weeks.

The cost of the event for the Finnish team members is 300 €, which includes accommodation, workshops and other program (excluding the possible excursions) and three meals every day.

HOW TO APPLY TO THE FINNISH TEAM AS A PARTICIPANT?

This years theme is RE:EASA. RE is a prefix, occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, used with the meaning ‘again’ or ‘back’. RE means acknowledging the presently or formerly existing and acting upon it. RE is dealing with the past or present to sort things out for the future. RE is aware of the circular nature of reality and interconnection of things. RE tackles the matter at hand for the sake of revealing a different kind of order or value.

Your task is to choose your “RE:____” and implement it on a subject of your choice. You may use the format/media of any kind (essay, poster, music, video, a recording of a performance …) You should submit your solution attached to an email to easancfinland@gmail.com by 22.4. Name your application: FINLAND_NAME_LASTNAME_RE:TERM
Write on the email also your full name, phone number and the school you study (or studied) in.
After the selection the chosen participants will get an email confirmation and their names and applications will be posted on the EASA Finland Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/EASAFinland/)

If there are any questions considering the event or applying, please send them to the same email address.

Good luck and hope to see you in Rijeka!
