Finland’s longest Wappu

Unfortunately, the coronavirus still affects the lives of students, and that’s why we have to organize our Wappu as remoteWappu. We’ve managed to maintain many traditional Wappu events for this year as well, but unfortunately we’ll have to postpone freshmen baptism until next fall. The new date of baptism is August 29th 2021, if the future situation allows it.

However, there is no need to mourn too much remote Wappu, because again this year Finland’s longest Wappu will take over Lapland’s Rannat, Lahti and practically the whole of Finland’s remote Wappu.

There is a program for every day of Wappu that everyone can participate in. Even traditional perch can participate in the eCampus Discord and watch until sunrise while listening to wooden foot jokes.
