During the fall of 2023, Finnish education institutes had a string of occupation movements. The movement started at my home university, the University of Helsinki, on the 19th of September, when about 50 students decided to occupy the main building of the university by taking control of the building’s lobby. The students, with increasing numbers, then decided to camp overnight at the main building and continued camping there for 14 days in protest against the cuts planned by the new right-wing government of Finland.
