Briefly In English
The Event
Kauppakadun Appro is Jyväskylä’s largest student event in which participating students have a chance to graduate by partying hard!
Every participant will receive a map and a diploma ('study record'). The diploma is for collecting stamps ('credits') by visiting and having a drink in different downtown bars and restaurants which are shown on the map. There’s a free entrance to all of the participating bars, and the drinks have a fixed, reduced price everywhere so there’s no need to bring drinks of your own.
This study tour will culminate at one of the following night clubs: Bra, Senssi, Giggling Marlin, London, or Pub Katse! Participants must select one of these venues when buying their tickets: these are the places where the ‘study records’ are evaluated and participants will receive a badge upon successful completion of their studies.
