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)

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.

SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN ASIA – STUDY & TRAVEL IN SUMMER 2018

Studying abroad is once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it’s something that can positively impact both your personal and professional future. Many students who have studied abroad report afterwards that it was one of the best experiences in their whole life.

Maybe you already know this and you’ve dreamed about studying abroad, but committing to a full semester or academic abroad just doesn’t fit your plans.

You might want to graduate quickly and may also have other reasons why setting off to a foreign country for a lengthy period of time just doesn’t seem feasible.

If that is the case for you, there is an option for you that doesn’t require that you set aside your life at home for several months at a time. By joining an international summer school, you get to experience a new country, learn the basics of a new language, gain friends from all over the world and take some interesting courses at the same time, all within just a month.

A summer school is an effective way to combine exploring a new country and studying. It’s more than just sightseeing and lying on a beach, more than just sitting in front of a pile of books the whole summer. You get to take a break from your familiar environment while also feeling that you’re doing something productive:

You get to know a new country and culture better than a mere tourist
You learn things you wouldn’t be able to learn at home, both in- and outside the classroom
You earn academic credits which you can include into your degree back home
You get to know people from all over the world
A summer school looks good in your CV and showcases to your future employers that you are active and make good use of your time

We can help you join international summer school session in Seoul, South Korea and Bali, Indonesia. Taking place in July and August, these summer school programs introduce you to the local language and culture while giving you the opportunity to learn about many other interesting topics as well.

The International Summer Session at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies introduces you to Korean language and culture. Courses are also offered in the areas of performing arts, culture, economy and business, Asian politics, contemporary society and international relations.

The application deadline for the International Summer Session is on May 31st.

The Warmadewa International Summer Exchange organized by Warmadewa University in Bali, Indonesia introduces you to Indonesian language, culture, tourism and business. You won’t be just sitting in the classroom either, but will get to take part in many interesting workshops and excursions as well. At the same time you’ll get to make many new friends from all over the world, learn about other cultures and improve your English skills.

The application deadline for the Warmadewa International Summer Exchange is on May 31st.

AYY:n omien tapahtumien löytötavarat:

Löytötavaroita varten on toimiston alakerrassa erillinen tila. Löytötavarahuoneeseen ei voi valvomatta päästää ulkopuolisia. Yläkerrassa työskentelevien ei ole mahdollista työpäivän aikana poistua työpisteiltään alakertaan löytötavaroiden vuoksi. Tämän vuoksi on tärkeää, että tapahtuman järjestäjä huolehtii itse tapahtumasta tulevista löytötavaroista. Kun jostain järjestämästänne AYY:n tapahtumasta tulee löytötavaroita, voitte itse päättää sekä tiedottaa, milloin olette päivystämässä tavaroiden hakua varten. Muistathan tiedottaa löytötavarapäivystyksen ajankohdasta myös AYY:n työntekijöitä, jotta osaamme tarvittaessa vinkata asiasta kyselijöille. Löytötavaroita voi säilyttää lastauslaiturilla, mutta mielellään ovesta heti oikealle olevissa laatikoissa, jotta siellä voi kulkea vapaasti.

Erillisen löytötavarapäivystyksen jälkeen AYY voi tarvittaessa ottaa yksittäiset hieman arvokkaammatylijääneet löytötavarat lyhyeen säilytykseen yläkerran tiloihin, joissa niitä säilytetään max. 1 kk (porraspäädyn kaappi ikkunaseinällä). Säilytykseen ei oteta esim. pyyhkeitä tai selkeästi rikkinäisiä esineitä.

Muiden kuin AYY:n tapahtumien löytötavaroita AYY ei hoida, eli ohjeistamme järjestäjiä hoitamaan tapahtumansa löytötavara-asiat itse (mm. viemällä arvoesineet poliisille).

Ystävällisin terveisin,

AYY:n jäsenpalvelut
