Youth Bysis is a leisure space for 5th graders to 25-year-old young people and young adults in the Oulu city centre. You can come to Youth Bysis alone or with a friend – there are trained youth workers always present. At Youth Bysis you can, for example, play video games in the gaming and media room or on the PlayStation or Nintendo Switch, or play board games, card games and pool. You can also sing or play different instruments in the separate music room which can be booked for your use. All activities at Youth Bysis are free of charge for young people.
Different competitions and tournaments and a weekly café, where you can enjoy small snacks with coffee or tea, are arranged at Youth Bysis. You can influence the activities arranged at Youth Bysis by telling the youth workers about your wishes and ideas. Additionally, youth organizations and associations and young people themselves can organize events meant for young people, such as concerts, discos and theme nights – your imagination is the only limit.
We communicate about our activities primarily on our Instagram @nuorten.bysis
