The Poikkari-team:

The organization of Pörssi requires the active participation of committees, teams, officials, clubs, and other enthusiasts. They enable a more high-quality and diverse offering for all members of Pörssi. Through all of these, more opportunities open up for you to get more involved in the activities of our association. At the same time, you also get to learn and develop important skills, preparing you for the future career! 

Currently, applications are open for a completely new Poikkari-team for the next year. Poikkarit maintain the nightlife in Jyväskylä and are also responsible for the Poikkari-brand itself. The team is responsible for organizing cross-disciplinary coverall parties, known as Poikkarit, usually held on the first Thursday of the month at the night club Escape. 

Who can apply? 

Any member of Pörssi! Applying and being a part of the team does not require previous experience. As long as you have enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, you are already well on your way! Please note that the position lasts for one calendar year and requires your presence in Jyväskylä. 

What is the Poikkari-team?

The team’s task is to handle all aspects of Poikkarit, including marketing, stakeholder relations, event production, planning, and, of course, the execution of the event. 

The team will consist of four members, and each member will be assigned specific responsibilities within the team. You can express your interest in a particular role, but this is not necessary. 

The team will have responsibilities such as: 

Communication and Marketing – including communication and content creation for Poikkarit in various channels. 

Corporate Relations Management – responsible for maintaining contact with NoHo Partners and other potential companies. 

Stakeholder Relations Management – responsible for stakeholder relations and interaction between different student organizations, clubs, and teams. 

Event Management – responsible for organizing and planning various events before Poikkarit. 

Note! it’s important to emphasize that the team works together, even though each member has their own responsibilities. Also, creativity is key, so join in developing Poikkarit!
