HYY156

HYY’s birthday is coming up, and we want to celebrate the occasion with a party that makes Monaco pale in comparison! The Anniversary is an evening for our community and friends, and you are very welcome to join us to raise a toast to the 156-year-old HYY!

Live it up at the casino

Are you looking for a break from the daily grind to light up the darkening days of November? Head over to Maxine on Thursday 28 November to dive into a dazzling Anniversary atmosphere! The party will feature some lighthearted casino games, dreamy jazz and Bess takes the stage. We will also be thanking the James Bonds of organisational activities, the 2024 organisation heroes.

Event safety

    • Accessibility

      The event is held at restaurant Maxine (at Urho Kekkosen katu 1, 6th floor, 00100 Helsinki). Accessible entrance to the premises is available by lift from the side facing the Narinkkatori square. The premises have an accessible toilet.

      The event features loud noises and bright lights. A smoke machine may be used at the event.

      The event does not have a separate space you can retreat to. Depending on the number of participants, it may be crowded at the event.

      The event features casino games that are not played for real money. If you or anyone close to you has a gambling addiction or you suspect it, further information and help is available at peluuri.fi/en.

      In matters related to the accessibility of the event, you can contact HYY’s Producer Pia Blomstén (pia.blomsten@hyy.fi).

    • Principles of safer space

      HYY’s principles of safer space are in effect at the Anniversary.

      At HYY’s events, you can participate in discussions and activities without fear of inappropriate treatment or harassment. Safe space is created in the interaction between people, and each one of us is responsible for this.

      • Treat other people in a civil, respectful manner and appreciate their work contributions.
      • When giving feedback, focus on giving constructive feedback.
      • Try to identify the assumptions you make and to take the diversity of people into account.
      • There is no room for violence, harassment, racism or discriminatory behaviour or language in HYY.
      • Respect the bodily and mental integrity of other people as well as the boundaries they have set for themselves.
      • In discussions, ensure that everyone gets heard and is able to participate.
