PIRATE’S WAPPU-TRIP

Come to recharge your batteries in the tranquility of the forest just before Wappu! PIRATE ry is organizing a wappu-trip to Makkarajärvi in Hervanta on April 22, 2024! 

Our destination is located about a kilometer away from the Hervantajärvi tram stop. We will meet at the stop at 4:30 PM and then head together to the campfire site. Juice, sausages, and marshmallows will be provided, but feel free to bring your own snacks if you wish. You can wear overalls or casual outdoor clothing for the trip. The event is open to everyone.  

The trip is free of charge. Please register by claiming a free ticket on Kide.app so we know how much food to prepare with. 

NOTE! The event is weather permitting; we will notify you of any changes by the morning of the event! In case of bad weather, we will move the event to TAMK’s facilities.  

This event is one of PIRATE’s wappu events, whereby participating, you can get the fantastic PIRATE wappu overall badge! 

All our events are harassment free. If you encounter any kind of harassment or other inappropriate treatment at our events you can contact our trained anti-harassment contact persons Marianne (hairinta.marianne@piratery.fi) or Joona (hairinta.joona@piratery.fi).

Become part of a group of active members!

Do you want to be a part of our energetic activity? Have you longed for more communal activities in your student life? We have a solution for you! PIRATE ry´s active members group.

Active members group is a low threshold activity, with no bigger responsibilities. You get to help PIRATE ry´s board in events and orientation weeks for example. We also sometimes just need a few extra pairs of hands. Being an active member doesn´t mean you have to be available at all times, you can come help us when it best fits your schedule. But we do expect our active members to be a part of our activities and we reward active members with event tickets and overall patches to give a few examples. Active members group is also a great way to meet new people and make friends. You also get to “peek behind the curtain” of what it´s like to be a part of PIRATE ry´s board.

Active members group season starts in August 2024 and ends in December 2024. Active members will get an orientation before the season (preferably in May).

The application period is from 1.4. to 10.4.2024. Interviews will be held as soon as possible after the application period. We will contact you about the selections via email soon as possible after the interviews

Filling out the application form doesn´t take much time!
