ISYY’s Vappu Celebrations in Kuopio 2019

The highlight of the whole academic year, Vappu (May Day), will bring life to Kuopio by introducing a variety of events organised by ISYY, student organisations 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. On ISYY’s part, these include the cleaning of the Tooth in Lukema, Initiation to Education and the pool event at the Kuopio market square where we will wash and cap the Velj’mies statue and immerse the Professor.

Below, you can find a list of the Vappu activities and events on Kuopio campus organised by ISYY. Information on other events related to Vappu can be found on the Facebook event: Kuopion opiskelijavappu 2019, where you can find info also in English (link to the event below).
