ABOUT US
Statsvetenskapliga klubben vid Åbo Akademi r.f. (SF-klubben for short) is the faculty association for Social Science students at Åbo Akademi University. It was founded in 1925, and is as such the oldest Social Science student association in the Nordic region.
The activities of the association are aimed at all Social Science students at Åbo Akademi University in Turku. From the very beginning, the purpose of the association has been to awaken and increase the interest for societal issues among our members, as well as to safeguard the interests of the members in questions regarding their studies, job opportunities and free time. Therefore, the diverse and versatile activities consist of both traditional and contemporary events. The association organises domestic and foreign excursions, sittings and parties, evening sessions, monthly member meetings, debates, sporting events, company visits, coffee hours and such. The events are primarily held in Swedish, as it is the official language of the association, with the occasional event held in both Swedish and either Finnish or English.
Moreover, SF-klubben also has its own Club House where events are held. SF-klubben publishes two magazines for its members: the more formal Politicus, and the more informal Allwar&Oförskämt. The association is one of the largest and most active student associations at Åbo Akademi University.
OFFICE
SF-klubben has its own office on the third floor of the A2-part of the ASA-house, room A304. Office hours are Monday – Thursday at 11.30 – 13.00. During office hours you can become a member/ pay your membership fee (10€/ year), buy overall patches or our history book or just come in to talk and discuss anything and everything with other students or just hang out and drink a cup of coffee. Welcome!

DECLARATION OF EQUALITY
SF-klubben has written and adopted a Declaration of Equality to ensure that all members can feel safe, welcome and respected. The full declaration can be found under “Länkar” and “Declaration of Equality”. The Declaration applies to all events organised by SF-klubben. In short, we do not tolerate bullying, racism, discrimination, harassment, or offensive behaviour. Nobody should be treated poorly due to their opinions, ethnic background, sexual orientation, language, gender, sex, religion, disability or any other personal reason.
We commit to counteracting all of the above-mentioned forms of harassment and we commit to continuing reviewing and developing our operations from an equality perspective and to work for a more equal and inclusive student culture throughout Åbo Akademi University. The functionaries of SF-klubben supervise that everyone follows the Declaration, and they are encouraged to report any behaviour contrary to it. Behaviour contrary to the Declaration leads to disciplinary actions.
