JALOT VILLIT
Jalot Villit is a friendly student organisation for tourism research students, established in 1996.
Student organisations promote its members interests about matters associated with studying and overall wellbeing by co-operating in conversations with other organisations. Student organisations also arrange a multitude of activities for its members ranging from coffee breaks to cabin trips.
Jalot Villit can be seen on the streets sporting our police blue overalls with a happy and easy-to-approach posture. Us tourism research students are all part of a big family where differences are seen as an asset and everybody's contributions are appreciated. Our colorful group is connected by our genuine interest on the subject that is tourism and travel and the skills and experiences needed to survive in this area of expertise.
Tourism research graduates experts of responsible tourism for different kinds of local and/or international tasks including management, advisors and teachers.
We are updating the website to be more international-friendly! In the meantime, if you have any questions whatsoever, do not hesitate to contact us at jvillit@ulapland.fi

STUDENT OVERALLS
The traditional student outfit
It's traditional for Scandinavian university students to wear student overalls to events. All student associations have different color overalls - ours is a beautiful "police blue"!
In order to receive the overalls, you first must be a member of Jalot Villit. After that you're going to have to pay close attention to Jalot Villit social media as well as your tutors telling you when it's time to join the overalls order.
Overalls are ordered only once a year and they can not be bought later on. You must be active and participate in the ordering process. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the Jalot Villit board!
