Description was written before the event

Fuksikaste is ITU ry's traditional freshers' week event where new students become official ITU members. The gathering is on Thursday 27.8. at 17:00 at Pyynikintorget, from where participants head to a secret location 🤫.

The event features fun stations and group activities. The highlight is the official initiation 💚💦 - it's good to prepare for getting wet according to your own boundaries, but no one is forced. Spare clothes are a good idea 🧦👚. Also note that there is no shop near the event location, so it's recommended to eat well before leaving.

The stations do not use gifts to boost points. The event runs until 22:00, after which there is an opportunity to move on to official afterparties 🥳🪩🕺

Price: 3.50 € 💰 (includes overall badge).

Event safety coordinators are Mette Lehmusmetsä (tg: @mettelehmusmetsa) and Milja Puntalo (tg: @miljapuntalo). They remain sober throughout the event and can be approached with a low threshold to report issues such as harassment or discrimination. The event follows TREY's safer space principles: https://trey.fi/media/treyn-turvallisemman-tilan-periaatteet-1.pdf
