AIKB EASTER FAIR 2024
Once again,
the Easter fair proved very popular with a great number of visitors! There
was quite a large number of stalls selling a wide variety of products.
It was also an opportunity for affiliated groups to advertise themselves
and raise funds.
VISIT TO GUINGAMP PRISON WITH INSEAC STUDENTS
A guided tour,
in English, of the Guingamp prison was organised on Monday 25th March 2024
by the INSEAC students (National Institue for Artistic & Cultural Education).
About 15 AIKB members attended and they were shown around in pairs by 2
students. This was the opportunity to get a full understanding of the place
and its history.
Nowadays, the
prison also welcomes an art gallery, which is currently holding a photographic
exhibition called "Will Write Soon", which gathers photos and postcards
used and sent by American farmers from the 1900s to the 1920s.
The INSEAC
students are organising another guided tour in English on April 8th at
La Roche Jagu gardens. There are still places available if you would like
to participate. Please contact: info@aikb.fr
