Get involved in the student movement's development cooperation and climate action!

The Development Cooperation Advisory Board (Kenkku) is responsible for managing SYL’s development cooperation projects together with the SYL Board of Directors and experts. Kenkku offers a unique low-threshold opportunity to participate in all aspects of development cooperation – from ideas to implementation and project coordination.

The climate network brings together students who have an interest in climate matters. In practice, the network writes position papers, organizes visits and events, and facilitates discussion. The climate network offers excellent opportunities for learning, networking and developing into a climate advocate!
