Youth, corporates, organizations and the public sector came together to discuss the topic of event "Reducing inequalities through education" and these three United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Reduced Inequalities, Quality education, Good Health and Well-being.
The YouthSpeak Forum consisted of keynote speeches from Jani Toivola, Olga Silfver and Aape Pohjavirta, workshops as well as action space where the delegates had the chance to create a project aiming at the topic of the event.
The organization committee of the YouthSpeak Forum consisted amongst others of twelve BusinessAcademy students of TUAS.
- It was a part of our course to organize the YouthSpeak Forum in cooperation with AIESEC in Finland, says BusinessAcademy student Matthias Hetzenecker.
The students were in charge of in-kind sponsor sales, registration, delegate and sponsor support and they also took care of the press and media. A wide experience of project skills and team work has been gained and it was an unforgettable event for our BusinessAcademy students.
In addition, TUAS took part in the event as a sponsor and contributed promotional material in gift bags and provided sweets and sweets for the delegates.
- This was a Business Academy related activity where we have an exchange student group. TUAS provided a student team collaborating with the partner (AIESEC) for organising an event. It was good visibility for TUAS and an interesting project, says lecturer Emmanuel Querrec.
