Pärskeitä Magazine

For over 125 years, the school magazine Pärskeitä has offered students of Ressu the opportunity to express their thoughts for the entire school to read. We publish four issues a year and welcome all interested writers, illustrators, photographers, and layout designers to join the magazine’s activities!


Writers can choose whether they want to write in Finnish or English and can work on their text content individually or in groups. You will receive support and guidance from the editors, and the finished Finnish and English articles are proofread before publication.


Illustrators and photographers collaborate with writers and are responsible for the articles' graphic appeal. The illustrations can be drawings or photographs. Illustrators, for example, are responsible for the back cover comic and the front cover photo. Photographers are also needed to take pictures of school events for the magazine and Instagram.


If you are interested in layout design, you can sign up as a layout designer. The Art Director (AD) regularly holds layout training for those interested. In Pärskeitä, you can also serve in multiple roles at the same time, and many try different ways to participate in the making of the magazine.


Pärskeitä holds meetings almost every Wednesday at 11:30 either in room 208 on Kalevankatu or in room 4.26 on Ruoholahdenkatu. In the meetings, we plan and refine ideas for articles and illustrations.
