Put your focus on wellbeing on 16–17 Sept – check the programme for the Wellbeing Day
The Uniarts Helsinki Wellbeing Days will be organised on 16 September in the Agora Hall at the Helsinki Music Centre and on 17 September at the Tori courtyard in Kookos, at 11–14 on both days. Students and staff alike have the opportunity to learn more about health, exercise and other wellbeing services offered by the university and its partners. Everyone is welcome to come and chat, ask questions and at some stands, also try out services, play games and get tested on their health.
Earplug fittings at the Helsinki Music Centre and Kookos
You can have custom-made hearing protectors made for you at the events if you are exposed to loud sounds due to music in your studies or work. Please book an appointment in advance via the link below.
A representative from Orelo Oy will arrange the earplug fitting in Agora on Tuesday, 16 September, at 11–14 (library listening room C, S1115) and at Tori on Wednesday, 17 September at 11–14.
New students: you can get custom-moulded earplugs at a price of €130. Alternatively, you can order standard earplugs (HiFi/”musician’s” earplugs) free of charge.
If you’re not a first-year student: you can order custom-moulded earplugs for yourself at a price of €150. The price is lower for first-year students, because the university can only sponsor the purchase of earplugs for new students due to budget reasons.
Employees: If the noise exposure caused by music at your workplace exceeds 80 dB(A) daily and you are covered by occupational health care, you can get custom-moulded earplugs at your employer’s expense.
