We welcome all our first-year students, who started their studies last year, to the return ceremony of the Tursaspassi! We are now taking back the Tursaspassis, so that you could win amazing prices!
Your Tursaspassi doesn’t need to have all the stamps collected, because we are raffling prizes among those who returned their pass (as it says on the pass).
When? – Tuesday 26.4. at 12-18.
Where? – Tamko’s Solu
Why? – To win prizes worth money!
At the return ceremony, you can still check the last boxes in your pass and collect some missing stamps. If you can’t make it to the return ceremony, don’t worry – the pass can be returned to Solu until the 30.4.
You may come to hang out with your friends, buy patches for your overalls, listen to some music, and get a free lollipop or two! 🍭 We also serve grilled sausages to the participants!

6. Try roller derby for free TODAY!
Tampere Roller Derby and Tampere Rollin’ Bros are once again hosting popular Open Practice event – for free! You don’t have sign up in advance, just show up, try a bit of skating on derby skates and get to know our leagues! The event is on Monday 25.4. at 8 pm at Kauppi Sports Center.
The Open Practice starts with a quick info and a warm-up session. After that we hop on skates! You don’t need any skating experience or your own gear. All you need to bring with you is yourself, clothes suitable for sports, a water bottle and indoor sneakers.
If you want to pursue your derby dreams after the Open Practices, you can sign up for our next Beginner Course. More details and enrollment coming soon online, stay tuned! For Non-Skating Officials the Beginner Course is free of charge.
What is roller derby?
Roller derby is a quick-paced full-contant sport played on an oval track on quad roller skates. Both teams have five skaters on the track at once, one jammer and four blockers. Jammers earn one point for their team every time they pass an opposing blocker legally. Blockers play defense and offense, trying to stop the opposing jammer and helping their own jammer pass the opposing blockers at the same time. Each game has seven referees and up to 12 nonskating officials.
Our leagues stand against racism, sexism, homo- and transfobia and bullying.
Come as you are! See you soon!
WHERE: Kauppi Sports Center, Kuntokatu 17, Tampere
WHEN: Monday 25th April at 8 pm
WHAT DOES IT COST: Nothing!

7. Nonverbal and verbal communication as a source of well-being and successful interaction! – A group for students
Would you like to strengthen your self-awareness in the field of interaction? Would you like a moment of respite in the middle of everyday life or new resources after a long period of distance learning? Would you like to find new strengths or would you like to develop self-regulation skills? We will examine all of these in our mini-coaching.
TREY’s tutoring specialist organizes interaction coaching for students of the University of Tampere and TAMK as part of her internship related to her own expressive arts therapy instructor -studies. The group explores interaction skills related to one’s own well-being, study and working life and resources in a safe atmosphere without criticism and interpretation. The goal of the group is to strengthen the sense of security to be oneself, to connect with one’s own body and to balance the body and mind. Your work is guided by your current life situation and important themes. In a group, difference is seen as wealth and an opportunity to learn about oneself and others.
The group is suitable for a wide range of students who are interested in exploring their lives, resources and well-being through creative methods. Exercises can help identify new perspectives, increase self-awareness, and increase resources. The focus is on exploring one’s own experience.
No prior skills or experience are required to participate in the group. Curiosity and motivation are enough. In coaching you will need notepads as well as clothes that are comfortable to move around.
