Africa Day 2023

The JYU Africa Networks is hosting the Africa Day celebration event at JYU. For participants UTU it is possible to join the event online or on-site at Rosetta Webinar Studio.
The event that brings together participants from JAMK, University of Helsinki, University of Turku and University of Eastern Finland will see many sessions presented in the day-long event. There are interesting panel discussions on immigrants and the entry dynamics into the Finnish labour market, a joint session that brings together doctoral researchers and Early Career Researchers from the University of Helsinki, University of Eastern Finland, University of Turku and the University of Jyväskylä to present their work. There will be a round table on racism in the Finnish HEIs and poster presentations later in the day. The event will not end without some music and dance, with an all-day quality coffee, refreshments and snacks supplied to the guests. Come with a friend, get to celebrate with the JYU Africa Network and the JYU community.
