JYY and JAMKO are organizing a students’ seminar on the Higher Education Group
Are you interested in the possibilities of cross-institutional study? Are you wondering about the future of student culture? What and why is a higher education group? You can now have an impact on this with other students!
JYY and JAMKO are jointly organizing a university group seminar aimed specifically at students on Wednesday, September 16th from 13:00 to 16:00. The seminar will be held at Ruusupuisto, RUUD104 (Alvar Aallonkatu 9).
The seminar is aimed specifically at student activists, such as board members of subject associations and educational organizations, student representatives, and editors of JYY and JAMKO. If you are interested, you can register!
The seminar will feature the vice-rectors responsible for education at JYU and Jamk, as well as key preparatory personnel from the higher education group in a panel discussion.
