you can bring a friend — even if they are not a student or study at another institution. Please note that non-members may pay a slightly higher ticket price.

No. Our events are open to everyone, but ESN members receive discounted ticket prices and priority access.

The ESNcard is a membership card that gives you discounts on ESN events, trips, and partner offers like Ryanair and tomorrow land. It’s especially useful if you plan to attend multiple events during the semester.

Tickets are sold through Kide.app. The ticket link is always shared in the event description and on our social media.

A sitsit is a traditional Finnish student dinner party with singing, a structured program, and fun traditions. It is guided by toastmasters and follows specific (but playful) rules.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, discrimination, or unsafe behaviour. If someone violates our safe space policy, they may be removed from the event without refund and may face further consequences.

Each event has designated anti-harassment contact persons. In addition, we have yearly anti-harassment contact persons you can reach at any time. Their contact details are listed on our website.

Most nightlife venues in Finland require guests to be 18+ and show a valid government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, or official ID card).

For trips, you should always bring:

• Valid ID

• Weather-appropriate clothing

• Personal medication (if needed)

• Travel documents (if required)

• Specific packing instructions are sent before each trip.

The tour operator is responsible for logistics, transportation, accommodation, and safety.
ESN promotes the trip and provides group leaders, but does not act as the tour provider unless explicitly stated.
