AWESOME PARTIES AND STUDENT LIFE TO REMEMBER

JAMKO kicks off student autumn with a three-part mega-event! JAMKO Kick-Off presents a wild SFA-rally, a memorable inland waterway cruise and an epic after-party! Stay tuned and be quick as the cruise is always sold out!

The Freshmen party Fuksiaiset is an upbeat, community event organised by JAMKO to welcome new students to the Jamk student community. The event brings freshmen together from across campuses and leads them through a series of mission puzzles, collecting points and exploring their new student town. Above all, the Freshmen partyis a fun and safe way to meet new people, break down barriers between fields of study and dress up in a different theme each year – the best outfits are rewarded!

At the Overall Oath Party, proud jumpsuit owners take the oath of allegiance and receive the essential baptism of student life, preventing student life from becoming dry. So put on your shiny new overall, and dip them as the official student uniform. The event will be MOIST – so come prepared! More about the student overalls

Have fun, stay active and make new friends!

Throughout the school year, a variety of sports and wellbeing events provide an opportunity to get together, move and have fun.

TryOut is an event concept that gives students the opportunity to try new sports and activities with a low threshold. The planning takes into account the diversity of people, the variety of sports and accessibility. We have tried things like aerial yoga, bouldering and magnetic fishing. It doesn’t matter how good you are, the most important thing is to get out there and try something new in good company.

Student Well-being Week is an annual themed event that focuses on students’ overall wellbeing – physical, mental and social. A varied programme of activities is organised to provide support for coping, tips for managing everyday life and moments of relaxation and togetherness. Wellbeing Week invites you to take a moment, take care of yourself and find ways to feel better in the midst of your studies.

Finnish Experience Week whisks you away with fun activities designed to highlight Finnish traditions and create ungorgettable experiences that only Finnish nature, traditions and customs or delicacies can deliver!  Come alone or bring a friend, meet new people, and collect authentic Finnish experiences to take home with you.

JAMKO, together with Jamk Talent Boost, organizes Get To Know Jyväskylä events. Everyone is welcome to participate in this event series, and its purpose is especially to help international students get to know Jyväskylä, the local culture, and other students. The events include, for example, visits to nature and cultural sites, sauna evenings and other traditional Finnish leisure activities, as well as events where participants can showcase the culture of their home countries. The goal is to make it easier to adapt to and integrate into a new living environment, provide networking opportunities, and strengthen the sense of community among students.

These events are always intoxicant-free, generally free of charge or at least low-cost for JAMKO members!
