Dear friends, we have already got some answers from you and would like to start introducing us to one another. Please meet Raine Katajamäki, the President of the Executive and Ina Biström, member of the Executive Board responsible for academic affairs of the Student Union of Åbo Akademi University. Raine studies international law and Ina studies comparative literature. Here is what they expect from the conference and which student issues are on the current agenda in Finland:
Why do you participate in the conference?
Because we are interested in
discussing student influence with other student unions and we want to get new
points of view that we can use in our own work. We are also looking forward to
discussing quality of education because it can always be improved.
What do you expect from the conference?
We expect to take part in
interesting discussions with representatives from many different countries and
that these discussions would lead to new ideas and visions.
Which issues are on the discussion agenda in your country?
Student allowance is one of
the main topics in the Finnish student politics. It was recently decided that
the student allowance is going to be reformed so that it would be more
supportive for full-time studies. In Finland the government pays student a
monthly allowance that is meant to enable full-time studies. Limitation of
study time, tuition fees for students from outside the EU and EEA and terms for
admission into universities are also currently discussed topics in Finland.
Thank you, guys for your answers! See you soon!

A small error seems to have happened when the presentation was put here; Raine is the one studying international law and I am the comparative literature student. I am by the way very much looking forwars to the conference and meeting the other delegates.
