SOCIAL PROGRAMME
Sustainable Social Programme
We believe that international studies are worth travelling for, yet we want to compensate the emissions somehow. Turku Åbo Summer School’s Sustainable Social Programme offers you the most interesting activities in the Turku region in an environmentally friendly manner. It is a perfect opportunity for you to get to know your new class mates better, enjoy the summer and explore the Turku region!
The Sustainable Social Programme is voluntary and has an additional fee of 130 euros. The finalized schedule and enrollment information has been sent to accepted participants in May and the enrollment is now open!
Cancellation of participation in the social programme should be made in writing to summerschool@utu.fi.
If you cancel your participation before 15 July 2025, Turku Åbo Summer School will refund you the social programme fee. After 15 July 2025, the fee will NOT be refunded in any circumstance.
Below is the Sustainable Social Programme 2025. Please note that there might be small changes to the programme.
