Events
Sitz
Sitz, sits or sitsit
A Finnish (and Swedish) academic student event (table parties) where people eat, drink and sing songs. Sitz are ''formal'' happenings with a set programme, conference breaks, and specific rules that everyone must obey. Dresscode is according to the theme of the sitz.
The quality of food and drink is not the point of the event, so don't set your expectations high. Eat properly before you come. And you may bring extra beverage with yourself (depending on venue).

ESN Uni Turku members receive their pass when acquring their membership (subject to availability). However, if you are a member of another section already, you can also participate in the challenge by purchasing the pass separately in our office.
1) Take a picture of yourself completing the task and come to our office to claim your stamp.
2) Or meet us at an event directly and claim your stamp right away on the spot.
Depending on the number of stamps you collect, you are rewarded with a patch. By the end of completing all challanges you will have gotten 3 patches for your overall which together form the Turku Cathedral, so you don't wanna miss out on having just half cathedrals.
