ISHA Helsinki News – Autumn 2020

Hello fellow students and friends,

we hope you have been doing well despite the current global pandemic. As everyone and every organisation we have also been affected by the current situation which unfortunately restricts our normal functioning as a student organisation.

Sadly, due to circumstances and restrictions on the number of attendees when it comes to events, we have to again cancel our 30th Annual Ball that would have taken place on the 27th of October. Instead of a physical meeting, we’ll be organising an online game night at the end of October.

We have been concentrating on planning online events that are accessible for everyone and started our online-Autumn journey with an Afternoon Tea Talk -event on the 4th of October. It was a lot of fun and we hope to organise a similar one again soon. Though, we won’t be forgetting face-to-face meetings completely: we are planning on an Autumn Picnic that will tentatively take place on the 17th of October at 2pm.

We will keep you updated on the events we’re planning to organise. We wish a happy and safe autumn for you all!

 

Best regards,

the Board of ISHA Helsinki

 

 

 

The effects of COVID-19 to the events of ISHA Helsinki

Dear everyone,

The 2020 board of ISHA Helsinki had a meeting last week on the 12th of March. The minutes can be found exceptionally here, in Finnish.

Sadly we have to announce that the 30th Anniversary Ball of ISHA Helsinki, that would have taken place on the 3rd of April, will be canceled due to the coronavirus epidemic. We are following the recommendations of the University of Helsinki and the Finnish government and will cancel all the events at least until the 31st of May.

We have rescheduled the Anniversary Ball to the autumn and it will be held on the 27th of October. We will provide new information about the Anniversary Ball later this year. Until then, remember everyone to follow the rules of the government in this special situation we live in. Most importantly, stay home as much as possible, but if you need to go out, wash your hands and keep distance to other people to protect the most vulnerable.

 

Best Regards

The board of ISHA Helsinki 2020
