1 Tuning Day Feb 26 2020!
Do you want to develop yourself as an organisational actor? Would you like to get some tips and inspiration for tuning your organisation and making it even better? Join us at HYY’s Tuning Day to receive both training and inspiration!
Inspiration, development, tuning!
Tuning Day is held in Aurora and Arthena at the Siltavuorenpenger campus on Wednesday 26 February 2020. It is a training event for all organisational actors and features a variety of training sessions – you will get lots of chances to learn something new whether you are active in a hobby organisation, a student nation, a subject organisation or a faculty organisation!
The event kicks off with a breakfast for everyone in Alina Hall (New Student House, Mannerheimintie 5 A, 3rd floor), after which you will get to participate in the workshops you have chosen.
The workshops will be primarily in Finnish, so please specify when signing up whether you understand or speak Finnish so that we can make arrangements if necessary.
Registration closes on 23 February at 11.59 pm.

6 Environmental training for organizations on the 10th of February
The main purpose of the environmental training is to provide organizations with tips and support for environmentally friendly student activities. The training will give you a glimpse into how organizations and campuses work and a possibility to share your best
environmental tips with other student volunteers. We also provide a quick overview of the Environmental Committee as well as other environmental actors in the Student Union.

8 Apply for furniture purchasing grant!
HYY supports furniture purchases for interior decoration in organisational premises. The grant is intended for organisations which primarily operate on HYY’s premises and the grant is mainly directed to the purchasing of tables, chairs, cupboards with locks and other interior items. The aim is that the furniture would increase the cosiness of the organisational premises and the willingness of organisations to look after their premises even better.
When allocating the furniture grant, we pay attention to the following: the ecological aspect, sustainability and necessity of the purchase. The furniture grant is not supposed to cover the entire purchase price but organisations are also expected to participate in the financing of the purchase.
The grant can be applied all year round. You can apply for the grant with an informal application, which should include the following information:
– applying organisation/organisations
– applied furniture
– budget
– reasons for the purchase
Applications can be submitted by e-mail to jarjesto(at)hyy.fi or by mail to the Student Union of the University of Helsinki, PL 1099, 00101 HELSINKI. Organisations that receive the grant must provide copies of the receipts to the same address no later than within four months after the allocation of the grant.
