HUMAKO’s local activities
HUMAKO’s local activities, i.e. tutor and team actives, are open to all Humak students. All members of HUMAKO can apply to become local actives. Actives can express themselves and organize activities that are tailored by their own personalities and the students wishes and needs.
Any HUMAKO member who wants to contribute to a diverse and community-based student life at grassroots level can become a local active. We are looking for local actives from all study programmes, degrees, year groups and campuses – our aim is to offer as diverse an activity as possible through a variety of actives. Being a local active is fun and rewarding and definitely one of the most memorable experiences of your student life, so feel free to apply to join HUMAKO´s actives! It is possible to get 1-10 credits and a certificate for local activities.
Tutoring
As a HUMAKO tutor, you can help and support your fellow students with their study-related problems. As a Humak student yourself, you will be able to give other students important and valuable peer support in their studies and everyday life. Tutors also advise, guide and students from different year groups and support and promote a sense of community, well-being and activity. All tutor activities are open to all, free of charge, alcohol-free and aim to minimise the threshold for participation.
Tutoring is carried out among students in a variety of settings, including online, on campus sites, and possibly face-to-face in different locations. Tutoring involves the brainstorming, planning, reporting and evaluation of activities. Activities suit different life schedules and circumstances flexibly.
Tutoring is coordinated by HUMAKO and all tutors are HUMAKO tutors. Therefore, students must have a valid Student Union HUMAKO membership to act as a tutor. Tutor activities are guided and supported by the local activities team of the HUMAKO board, as well as by designated tutor leaders and HUMAKO tutor teachers. So you don’t have to be a tutor on your own! In matters related to tutoring, you can contact the members of the HUMAKO boards local division through the email paikallistoiminta(a)humako.net.

Teams
Teams are a new easily accessible form of local activities and currently teams are functioning in Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. The used time as a team member can be arranged by case-by-case basis. You can apply to be a member of a team any time you want, the applications are handled in two weeks from their arrival.
As a team member you can for example hold checkpoints in events, help in the kitchen in academic sitzfests, plan events and organize info-events for new students. Teams combine tutor-and division activities to one singular activity in which members can participate according to their schedules.
