Ticket sale begins on 4.4.2024 and the more detailed info about the event in both cities and ticket sales can be found from ISYY websites.

To be able to attend the event, Finnish language is not required. The most important thing is that you get to have a great day with your friends and other students, celebrate Finnish Vappu and that you can keep up with the bus schedule during the day. If there are people on the bus, that do not speak Finnish, we'll ask the bus leaders to give all the necessary information about the schedule also in English.

The event in Kuopio is organised with a project fund of the Finnish Student Health Service’s (FSHS) Eastern Area’s Kuopio’s Health Working Group in cooperation with UEF, ISYY and Cultural Space ‘Kulttuuripaja Luode’. During the event in the lobby there will also be different associations and operatives that are supporting student’s mental health.

Students can join creating art freely on any day and for how long they wish. There will be materials covered by the organiser and also student volunteers or ISYY Board Members to help and guide students joining the project.
