EGEA is an organization for geography students that covers almost all of Europe. It was founded in 1988 in Utrecht, and currently, it has about 80 entities across Europe. EGEA Helsinki is an entity of EGEA, established in 2005, which operates as part of MaO ry. EGEA Helsinki organizes local and international events in Helsinki and also participates in events organized by other entities both in Finland and abroad. EGEA Europe, along with its entity EGEA Helsinki, is an organization aimed at geography students, young geographers, and those interested in geography. If you’re interested in traveling and making new European friends, it’s definitely worth joining EGEA’s activities!
EGEA’s activities are open to all members of MaO ry without requiring a separate membership. Every member of MaO can participate in EGEA’s international events, such as congresses, but attending these events requires creating a user account on the EGEA Europe website, as most event registrations happen through the site. However, participation in exchanges and more local events does not require creating an account, although it is recommended.
Explore EGEA’s activities further on the EGEA Europe website. Check out the Events calendar to stay updated on upcoming events, or browse the Entities list to find new exchange destinations. Please note that the Entities list may not always be up to date.
