"How can i help?"
I am a 25-year-old student of social sciences, from the University of Jyväskylä. Alongside my studies I work at Yrityskylä as a lead instructor. I am originally from Pirkanmaa, but now consider Jyväskylä as my home. I spend most of my free time with sports, music and friends. I am also a big fan of poetry, song lyrics and Juice Leskinen.
Important political topics
A pioneer in climate and the environment
- 🌿 Jyväskylä as a pioneer of sustainable development!
In addition to striving for carbon neutrality, Jyväskylä can work closely with the colleges and universities (JYU & JAMK) to be a pioneer in sustainable development. With knowledge and expertise, climate action can be an investment that also benefits the city financially.
Healthy residents
- 💙 Additional investments in mental health services!
Access to mental health services has been inadequate even before the COVID-19 crisis. No one should be left alone. We need more ways to prevent, alleviate and treat mental disorders and their consequences.
Entrepreneurship and employment
- 📈 More ambitious employment measures - life after studies!
Jyväskylä must be an entrepreneur-friendly city where students can find employment even after graduation. Jyväskylä does not have to be just a stopover on the way to working life.
