1. Enroll to Tamko’s Zoom workshop on remote studying, 30th March 2021

Hi, you wouldn’t have anything to say about this would you? We would need a couple of ideas: what would get you and your friends interested in doing things together with other people? How would you cheer up remote working? What things are difficult and how could you help with them? Would you have a specific skill that you could teach others? Lets find everyone a group!

Come and discuss your ideas in our Zoom workshop on the 30.3. at 16-17.00, so this does not take long! All degree students are welcome, whether you are studying an bachelors or a masters. You know the best about remote studying and working so we want your opinion! For people participating in the workshop, there is a small prize!

2. Enrolment period to become an International Tutor 8.3.-28.3.2021

International Tutors are making sure that new exchange students of TAMK arriving in August are integrating to TAMK, Tampere and Finland.

Tamko will be training all the new International Tutors in TAMK and supports them along the way. There will be two online training evenings this spring for selected tutors. You’ll also get an extra point from tutoring if you’re leaving for an exchange yourself. Tutors will also need to fill up final report in order to get 2 study credits. We’ll monitor coronavirus situation throughout the spring and summer and inform the tutors selected actively.

3. Advocacy Studio on 7th of April 2021

The first Advocacy Studio in history will be here soon! The event organised by TREY and Tamko brings together students, student representatives, association actives and other influencers of the student field who are interested in advocating for students’ interests. The studio and workshops address educational and social affairs as well as, for example, current issues related to student exchanges. The programme is suitable for anyone interested in advocacy – whether you were a long-term advocate of students or cautiously interested! More information.
