TATTE organizes a May Day event on Thursday 30th April at 12-14 in front of Pinni B, city center campus, or if it is raining, in Lyhty (located in the backyard of Päätalo)
The event will feature speeches from the chair of Academic Board professor Olli Sotamaa titled ‘Has academic value capture created a disposable university?’ and from University Lecturer Hanna Samola on the meaning of communality in university. We’ll be operating flexibly in Finnish and English, and active members of TATTE will also be around to chat about union-related matters or any other query that you may have in your mind. Postdoctoral Researcher Toni Pakkanen will be awarded Akava merit badge. In addition, TATTE’s work community wellbeing grant call will be opened during the event!
After the speeches, Tatte is excited to welcome ‘Mansen Tiikeri’ for a fun and uplifting performance. Mansen Tiikeri is a powertrio of Jonne “Mansen Tiikeri” Renvall and their minions Pete and Tuomo. The Funky punky trio is awake, hungry, bites and tears in a manner befitting a tiger.
The announcer for the Tatte May Day event will be Ismaël Maazaz.
Tatte offers traditional Finnish May Day treats sima (“mead”) and vegan munkki (“doughnuts”) to everyone.
Welcome!
