Verdi
Greenish students at Åbo Akademi University
Verdi is a club for people interested in environmental issues,
worldwide solidarity, life in general or related topics. Mostly we
gather around a teapot, sometimes we go for excursions or make real
efforts to make the world a little nicer.
Verdi is represented in the parliament of the students' union (ÅAS), but
you do not have to be interested in these activities
to be a member.
Elections are held in November. If you are member of the Students'
Union you have the right to vote. You can do that at the
union's major cafés (Kåren, Gadolinia, Fänriken).
Ask e.g. Katja Hokkinen for details. .
Please contact us directly if you want information.
I do not have the time to keep these pages up to date.

Our representation in the
Students' Union are mainly working for the same goals as the others:
good quality of education, reasonable welfare for students etc. In the
campaign however these were our main points:
- Our habits and values are formed during our time as students. It
is the Student Union's duty to increase the students' conciousness of
environmental issues.
- We, the educationally priviledged young have a responsibility for
how the society develops. The Student Union should not concentrate on
claiming; it also has an important role in expressing the opinions of
students.
- The studets and the study programmes are different - everybody
should have the right to take courses from outside the programme.
- One person cannot change the world alone, but the Student Union
has 4500 members, and together we can make a difference.
