“I want to lead a courageous, professional and equal federation of all higher education students. Next year, the Federation’s strategy will be updated, the Finnish Students on the Move action programme will be extended to higher education institutions and groundwork for municipal elections will be done. These are great opportunities to improve students’ well-being,” Antti describes the activities of the federation for next year.
