Don’t worry—Staabi, Boomi, and Iltakoulu have got you covered with this joint practice session, especially with the Academic World Championships of Kyykkä just around the corner! The evening will be filled with flying clubs and dramatic kyykkä battles—not to mention sausages provided by Suomen Ekonomit. For cold fingers, hot juice will be served to keep you warm.

All you need to bring is a positive and relaxed sporting spirit!

Wait, what’s kyykkä? In short, kyykkä is an academic power sport where two teams compete against each other. The goal is to knock over kyykkä blocks using a wooden club and score as many points as possible.

It’s also recommended to bring a water bottle, as there’s no water source nearby. The event is accessible. The square has no major thresholds, and there is a public accessible toilet on the edge of the market square.
