“A well-being student learns better – let’s build a better everyday life together“
- Student welfare and mental health
- Development of the school catering system
Hi! I’m Joel, a 20-year-old entrepreneurship student at TAMK. I’m running for the representative body to help create a better everyday life for us students. Well-being and mental health are the foundation of learning — no one should have to cope alone. I want to push for real, timely support that meets students where they are. I also care about improving school meals — good-quality, nutritious food should never be a compromise. If you’ve been hoping for a better school experience, now is our time to shine. Vote Joel – health first, now and always.

“Because equality is for everyone.”
- Making students’ voices heard
- Equality between students
I’m Anna, a third-year International Business student. I decided to run for the Council because this past year as a member of Tamko’s board has taught me a lot about students’ rights, well-being, and equality. It has been amazing to work on these themes in the board, but in the Council I would be able to give my own voice in support of them. For me, the most important thing at TAMK is equality among students, and by electing me to the Council I would be able to influence important decisions that concern us all. Vote for a voice that stands for every student.
