We had a very nice barbecue afternoon on 13.06.2022 in front of the HZO of the RUB.
The whole team of social psychology participated and brought culinary delicacies.
In the evening, there was a small karaoke show with light effects and all the necessary equipment.
On 19.05.2022 we took part in a guided tour of the Fiege brewery. The whole team was enthusiastic and at the end everyone sat in the „Fiege Bierstube“ on the top floor. We used the time to try some of the delicious beers, and had a side dish of curry sausage with bread rolls. It was a very interesting event and is definitely to be recommended.
Our team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
