History and birth of LoW

Louhelan Woima was established in 2001. The idea for this leisure time association took shape after a group of enthusiastic and active Tiedepuisto people participated in the Jukola orienteering relay. Soon after this, people noticed that the Tiedepuisto had a concrete need for establishing LoW.

Louhelan Woima is a good "excuse" for using sports and other leisure time activities to bring together Tiedepuisto actors from different sectors and backgrounds.

Half of the association's name comes from the Louhela School that once stood on the current Tiedepuisto site. The word "Woima" (strength) also has a story behind it. The name of this leisure time association reflects the influence of other sports club names. Woima was also a suitable continuation to Louhelan because the name could be conveniently abbreviated to LoW.
