The Finnish Student Sports Federation emphasizes the importance of physical activity, well-being, and everyday activity in its operations. The goal is for students to engage in sufficient physical activity for their well-being and health.
Aleksis Kivi’s novel “Seven Brothers” is a coming-of-age story for young men. The brothers realize the importance of education, it is all about learning to read. The Finnish national author is speaking through Aapo’s mouth with these words: ”Let´s get to work, send to Hämeenlinna for a-b-c books and go to the hymnleader´s school, as was our Vicar´s order”.
The Finnish Student Sports Federation is now celebrating the 100-year history of student sports. As we have carried our message across the plains on Kakkurinneva and Majakalliot on a dim summer night, we congratulate and thank the celebrating federation for their long-term efforts in nurturing young people into an active lifestyle.
