What is an Appro?

An Appro (from Latin approbatur, meaning "approved") is a Finnish event where participants visit different locations like bars, cafés, and activity spots, collecting stamps at each place.

Academic Tradition

Named after the lowest passing grade in Finnish matriculation exams, it's a playful nod to completing a challenge. The largest Appro events can attract thousands of participants each year, making them some of Finland's biggest student gatherings.

Community & Culture

Rooted in Finnish academic culture, Appro events help people explore neighborhoods and support local businesses. Student groups and organizations use them to bring communities together.
