ISYY Vappu 2020 goes online!
Will there be Wappu 2020 after all? No worries! ISYY is taking on the First of May with an entirely new concept, perfectly suitable for quarantine conditions. Ladies and gentlemen, ISYY proudly presents: ISYY Waburadio! *insert jingle here*
Say what?
ISYY Waburadio is an online radio program and spectacle organized around First of May and before it. First of May, or Vappu, is a very important holiday for students in Finland, and we will not let any corona virus stop us from getting into the party mood. The radio program launches on April 22nd and lasts until 1st of May with daily program between 14:00 and 22:00. Following the broadcast is easy and effortless, you only need an internet connection!
So, I like radio. Can I participate in this?
Enthusiasm! That’s the spirit! We are actually looking for help from any- and everyone who might be interested. Whether you want to join in on your own, with friends, as an association, or representing a club, everything is possible. At the end of this message you can find directions for submitting your material for the broadcast, with guidelines on length, format, subject and of course, the timetable. You just need to create and submit your material and desired broadcast slot and we will broadcast it for the world!
What if I’m not a student in UEF?
No worries! Now’s your time to try producing podcasts, streaming, or filming vlogs about anything, no matter where you heard about this or who you are. Private sector organizations, companies and volunteer workers: welcome!
Anything else to know?
Actually, yes! On top of the material for the Radio broadcast, we’d love to recieve pictures or videos from student associations and clubs and everyone showcasing your approach to long-distance/online Vappu celebrations. Send your Vappu greeting for example through a saved Zoom-meeting, video, or as a picture for us to showcase in the First of May broadcast. The deadline for this is in the guidelines below.
But what’s the most important thing here?
Enjoy Vappu even when your most frequent daily activities are running away from everyone and washing your hands. Stay home, keep sipping some sima and enjoy traditional Vappu treats!
