Board Games & Net­work­ing: The Christ­mas Spe­cial

Oulu, get ready! On Decem­ber 19th, Inter­na­tion­al House Oulu with Bloom will trans­form into a hol­i­day won­der­land of board games, net­work­ing, and a pinch of fes­tive mis­chief. Think Mari­ah Carey on loop, the Grinch flip­ping a Monop­oly board, and Kevin McCal­lis­ter set­ting traps in Catan.

• Where: Tech­nop­o­lis Ydinkeskus­ta, Sepänkatu 20, Oulu
• When: Decem­ber 19th 2024, from 17:00–20:00
• Sign up now here.

What’s in Store?

• Board Games Galore: From chill strat­e­gy games to com­pet­i­tive chaos (look­ing at you, UNO). Losers might have to sing All I Want for Christ­mas Is You.
• Net­work­ing: Meet amaz­ing peo­ple who could become your next game night part­ners – or rivals.
• Spe­cial Guest: Dania Waseem, a doc­tor­al researcher in the Fac­ul­ty of Edu­ca­tion­al Sci­ences and Psy­chol­o­gy, will share men­tal health insights – because even the Grinch needs some self-care.
• Fes­tive Vibes: Imag­ine the warmth of Christ­mas lights, the smell of gin­ger­bread, and just a hint of Home Alone-style shenani­gans.

Why You Can’t Miss This

• Because net­work­ing is bet­ter with dice and cards, not just busi­ness cards.
• Because Mari­ah Carey might be the sound­track, but you’re the star of the night.
• Because the Grinch will play Scrab­ble, and trust us, he cheats.

What to Do?

Join us! Bring your inner Grinch, Kevin’s cre­ativ­i­ty, and Alan Rickman’s dra­mat­ic flair. Let’s play, con­nect, and cel­e­brate the hol­i­days in a way you’ll nev­er for­get.

RSVP now, because if you’re late, you’ll be stuck play­ing Monop­oly with the Grinch – and he doesn’t play fair.

See you on Decem­ber 19th, Oulu!
