ISYY's Vappu 30.4. in Joensuu

The highlight of the whole academic year, Vappu (May Day), will bring life to Joensuu by introducing a variety of events organised by ISYY, student associations and clubs. Traditionally the students’ Vappu celebrations begin as early as in the middle of April and will culminate in the Vappu Eve and its traditions.

This year we have composed a list of the Student Vappu Events in both campuses to our event calendar. From the Student Vappu in Joensuu 2023 -page you’ll find information about the Vappu Events organised by ISYY, Student Associations and Clubs.

Check out the Vappu events organised by ISYY, Student Associations and Clubs from our website:
