The main objective of Mythos is to assemble people interested in Study of Religions in activities that relate to the field and enhance our understanding and future professional abilities. It is also within our main priorities to promote the good quality of Study of Religions and to give people possibilities to network beyond discipline and land barriers. As a student organization we also find it important to maintain and promote the health and wellbeing of our members.
Our main projects include seminars on matters of interest in Study of Religions that we hold four times a year, magazine concentrated on Study of Religions and associated subjects (Mynthos), an annual course handling religious diversity, cultural excursions, recreative evenings and networking through different means (for example joint meals, travelling and joint activities). We also have many activities that change on yearly basis, for example last year we cooperated with Helinä Rautavaara museum and held a seminar and guidings with them.
We would be interested in joint working, for example in joint seminars especially dealing with religions and intercultural relations. We also have willing and able volunteers to help with your projects. If of interest we could also organise training for members of ALF network on religions.
Right now we are planning a journey to Bosnia-Herzegovina in autumn 2015 and would be very interested in working with the local Anna Lindh network and its members. Our theme for the journey is religious coexistence and cooperation as well as the religious landscape of Balkan area. We would be happy to create bonds and networks between Anna Lindh network in Bosnia and our Finnish network.
We see ALF as a wonderful opportunity for networking and learning through each other. We are also interested in the training ALF Networks may organise. The members of Mythos are very keen on intercultural relations and understanding of human culture(s). As a small student organisation we also find it very important to reach out to others and be more society than university centered. We find that the Finnish ALF Network has accomplished a lot; for example the reports the Finnish ALF Network has produced are of interest to us and we would like to be a part of something that educates our society.
