CampusSport’s safer space guidelines
We at CampusSport do not accept any harassment. We require that all our customers commit to following the safer space guidelines. The purpose of the guidelines is to prevent inappropriate behaviour such as harassment, bullying and discrimination in all CampusSport’s facilities, shifts and events. In addition, the guidelines help both the customers and the staff members to intervene with inappropriate behaviour.
CampusSport’s vision
A vision for CampusSport was created in 2019. The vision process was a joint effort by many interest groups. There is an operational plan for implementing the vision and putting plans into action. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the complete vision (pdf). The key points of the vision are summarised in one image by Hehku Visual.
Sponsorship
You can apply for a sponsored regular shift or a financial grant for participating in the competitions. Otherwise, we are unfortunately unable to sponsor individuals, groups or events.
Sponsored regular shifts
Groups are able to apply for a free regular shift from CampusSport’s facilities for a justifiable reason. Every academic year there are five free one hour shifts available. These can be applied for in May-June, when the official application of regular shifts (sports halls and badminton) has ended. If all the shifts are not reserved, applications are welcomed year round. The sponsored activity has to be in line with CampusSport’s values and be permitted in the facilities. Examples of groups who have got a sponsored shift are student musical theatre productions and Team Rynkeby cycling group. As a recompense for the sponsorships CampusSport should get some positive publicity in a way separately agreed with the sponsored group.
If you are interested in applying for a free regular shift, please send an email to maija.rihko@campussport.fi.
