Sports Tutoring
METKA promotes physical activity among students by training sports tutors. Through METKA, tutors can organise low-threshold events for their groups and exchange students to get active and spend time together. Sports tutoring is part of other tutoring activities and METKA does not currently train sports tutors alone.
Sports Equipment on Campuses
All four campuses also have sports equipment. This is intended to reduce the inequality between the campuses, as gyms and sports halls are only available in Myllypuro and Myyrmäki.
You can borrow sports equipment from the library on each campus with a library card. You’ll find things like Mölkky and walking sticks – it doesn’t get much easier than that!
In autumn 2024, an iWall was opened on the Karamalmi campus. The wall is located in room E570. iWall is a great way to refresh your brain with a little movement between lectures, for example.
Lotus, a yoga space on the Arabia campus. The space is located in the corner next to room AR430. The yoga space does not have a separate space code. The yoga room has the most common equipment for yoga and body care, for example during a day of studying.
The Myllypuro campus also has a wellbeing space funded by the MyActiveCampus project. The space has equipment for body care and, for example, an aerial yoga mat.
In addition, all campuses have a ping-pong table, subsoccer, office bike stools, a walking desk and other equipment. Student lounges also have activating equipment, for example, Myllypuro has wall bars.

Finnish Student Sports Federation
METKA and Zone jointly influence national student mobility events, thus contributing to student advocacy. The cooperation with the Student Sports Federation is close and provides an opportunity to influence the well-being of students. The Student Sports Federation is an association founded in 1924 with the aim of ensuring that all students move sufficiently for their health. The Federation also supports student sports and is involved in student sports competitions such as the SELL Games and the National Student Championships.
