They all look great, don't they? 

The time when course is coming to an end is always the time for reflections
about what the students have learned during the course. So lets see what have you sad after first week of course:

_Better planning group work
_I have learned about Aalto University
_About Aalto sustainability objectives and goals
_I learned that you can compost with a machine
_Good interpersonal skill to have for my career
_How to make a work plan
_Importance of sustainability
_I learned what is sustainable campus and some of its aspects
_Be more patient, Dutch are very direct :)
_A fresh view of sustainability, more awareness (during the course, way of thinking, tell about the course to other people...)
_I learned something different from China, specifically in discussing with group mates in how to make a work plan
_Working with the people and listen different point of view

Lectures could be helpful and inspiring, workshops could bring interaction and dynamics into work, although it hasn't to be like that, but group work is always interesting. So what have you learned from your group members?


_Everybody is different.
Different views could be better than mine.
_I learned to notice cultural differences,
before that I didn't care
_How to keep group work going and efficient while trying to create a common understanding.
_I learned that people from different countries/backgrounds can work together even though we don't really know each other.
_I have learned some new skills for Power point presentations and graphic design.
_The difference between us and possibility to work together.
_Different and valuable approaches how to organize work presentations.

There is an opening for a project employee responsible for producing an Aalto University manual on event management and to support the implementation of the Aalto sustainable campus principles.

Aalto University and the Aalto University sports association, Aalto-yliopiston urheiluseura, invite applications for a position of project employee to produce an Aalto University manual on event management and the measures taken to implement the Aalto sustainable campus programme.

The duty of the employee will be to produce a manual for event management at Aalto University. The manual issues guidelines on event management in accordance with the goals of the Aalto sustainable campus. The manual will be created in connection with the implementation of the SELL Student Games 2012.  The experiences gained during the project will serve as the basis for a guideline produced on event management in line with the goals of sustainable development at Aalto.  The SELL Student Games 2012 will be organized on the Otaniemi campus in Espoo on 17–20 May 2012.  Alongside the project, the employee can also write his/her master's thesis.

In accordance with the Aalto University strategy, a sustainability plan is being prepared for the university.

The coordination of the measures taken to implement the sustainability plan is the responsibility of the Aalto Facility Services.  Additional information for instance at http://www.aalto.fi/en/about/sustainability/

The traditional and international SELL Student Games will be one of the biggest Finnish sports events in 2012 in terms of the number of participants.

The games consist of 16 different events, expected to draw altogether 2000 participants and 250 volunteers, the majority of whom will lodge and eat on campus.

The manual for event management must cover all the most typical event types of Aalto University and to describe the associated codes of practice with the help of illustrative examples from the Aalto context.
