The cleanup will focus on tidying the Otaniemi environs after the effects of Wappu. Trash is being collected in teams from campus and the yards of tenements, thus committing to beautifying the village. Equipment such as gloves, trash bags and trash grabbers are handed out in two locations; Servin Mökki and in a spot near the intersection of Servinkuja and Servin Maijan tie.
At the end of the cleanup, the beach sauna is warmed up to provide some relaxation for the exhilarated cleanup crew, starting at 18:00. In addition to the sauna, there are also refreshments served.
We challenge the residents of the area along with members of associations to cleanup in groups. As an additional carrot, the campus section and OtaHoas wish to reward the most energetic cleanup crew.

Humans vs Zombies Otaniemi 10.-12.5.
The set is ready, the props are on point, just missing one crucial thing… We’re recruiting the freshest talents to join our crew in the making of the next big full-length zombie feature film! Are you the new face of the surviving humans or the eye-catcher in the undead horde? Lights, camera, action! (Disclaimer: The production company is not liable in the case of actual living death.)
Humans vs Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. Humans can in turn protect themselves by hiding, fleeing or fighting back (using socks or foam gun darts to ”stun” zombies). Exciting missions and quests will be available every day. Since teamwork is often the best strategy players are guaranteed to meet new people. HvZ is created for campuses like Otaniemi, so we couldn’t have a better area for the game!
Participation is completely free of charge. The organizers will provide the game scarf and special items for you. All you have to do is sign up, show up and play.

II Studies
Summer course in co-operative values and principles I, 2.7. – 12.8.2018
Course: CNS-P1 Co-operative values and principles I
Aim: At the end of the course the students have a fair understanding of what co-operative enterprises are and which values and principles they are built on. The students get acquainted with different types of co-operatives and with the ways these apply the co-operative values and principles in practice.
Content: In the course the history of modern cooperatives and their values and principles at both national and international levels are dealt with. The students learn how the cooperative values and principles originated and took shape during the 1900’s, how they evolved during the 2000’s and how they are reshaped to the demands of today’s global world. The study module ends with examples of cooperatives showing that they are not curiosities from the past, but that the challenges of the modern business environment can be answered by them.
Realization and methods: Web course in English (some exercises can be written in Finnish/Itsenäiset opiskelutehtävät voi kirjoittaa halutessaan suomeksi)
Credits: 5 cr
Students at Aalto University School of Economics in Helsinki and at the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) are entitled to six credit points upon completion of additional tasks.
