All registered Konstfack students can become union members! That means that you can only sign up on registration day, because we need documents from the school showing that you are officially a student. After a few days, all the membership benefits should be unlocked.

We are always looking for people to organize parties and pubs, start student groups, host events or screenings or help out with keeping the union running from day to day. Our main issue is a lack of capacity, as all of our board members are also studying full-time.
