1. Students’ mental health day event
Students’ Mental Health Week is approaching and this year it will be held on 8.4–15.4. Students’ Mental Health Week is a campaign which highlight students’ mental health situation and build a more mental health-friendly study culture.
This year’s theme is equality and especially social accessibility. Tamko is organising a fair on TAMK’s main campus during the Students’ Mental Health Week on Wednesday 10.4. at 10-14.The fair aims to highlight the themes of the Mental Health Week and sub-associations and other wellbeing organisations will be there too! Join us!
2. Share good charity event
Did you find unused candles, batteries or oven mitts during your spring cleaning? What’s useless to you, could come in handy for someone else! We are organizing the Share good charity event, where you can help fellow students by bringing items you don’t need. In return, you can take what you need. The Share good event is a way to help students who are in a tight situation financially and of course encourage recycling!
Pre-donation stand at TAMK’s Lobby on 9.4. at 11–13
At the pre-donation stand, you can bring your donations that we will give out at the charity event. Items, that are in great condition, find new homes and a new meaning in students’ day-to-day lives.
Charity event at TAMK’s Lobby on 17.4. at 10–14
On the day of the charity event, you can still donate items and take what you need – for free!

How are students doing? The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) is inviting university students from all over Finland to a survey on their health, wellbeing, ability to study and use of services. The results will be used to improve student services such as healthcare, sports services and student catering.
How can I participate in the survey?
• 12,000 will be randomly invited to the survey, and they will receive the invitation by email.
• The respondents will be 18–34-year-old Bachelor’s or Master’s level students at higher education institutions across Finland.
• The study will be carried out as an online questionnaire. Filling in the questionnaire will take approximately 20 minutes.
