Description

You really need to try out what Finns are famous for: SAUNA! 🧖‍♀️🧖‍♂️

Join ESN FINT for an evening at one of the finest public saunas in Tampere, on the shore of frozen lake Näsijärvi. 🧊 Relax, experience the heat of a true Finnish sauna and take a dip in the freezing ice water (if you dare)! Normally the same sauna would cost 8€ per visit but with ESN FINT you can now visit for free! This event is for new exchange students of the city center campus of the Tampere University.

The sauna is mixed gender, so a swimming suit 🩳 / bikini 👙 is mandatory. Sandals / flip-flops 🩴 are also a good idea.

Please note that the sauna is booked just for us and the temperature inside will be slightly lower than during regular opening hours. 🌡️Beginner friendly event!

P.S. Did you know that Tampere is the Sauna Capital of the World? It’s true, read more about it at https://visittampere.fi/en/nature/sauna-capital/

IMPORTANT: This event is for new exchange students from the city center campus only. For Hervanta campus students: INTO will organise a welcome sauna for you. We're sorry to put this limitation, but since this event is part of the welcome week and the spots in the sauna are limited, new exchange students are given priority. However; if there's spots left on the monring of 6.1. at 11:30, you can book a 'left-over ticket' from the ticket sales, so no spots go to waste.

If you've got a ticket, but are unable to come: Please contact us, ESN FINT, to cancel your ticket so someone else can use your spot! It doesn't matter when you send us the message; we will gladly help you to cancel the ticket. Please let us know your full name as written on kide.app when contacting us.

ESN FINTin järjestämät tapahtumat ovat avoimia kaikille kansainvälismielisille opiskelijoille, mukaan lukien suomalaiset tutkinto-opiskelijat! Tulkaa rohkeasti vaan mukaan tapahtumiimme nauttimaan kansainvälisestä ilmapiiristä 😊. Tiedoksi vielä että näissä tapahtumissa ensisijainen käyttökieli on englanti, mutta usein vaihtarit haluavat myös kovasti harjoitella suomen kielen käyttämistä.
