 As happens every year, we celebrated the ICMAB Party, this year on Friday 6th of June. The day was packed with different activities for everyone, all organized by ICMAB staff!

We started the day by having breakfast at the garden:

After everyone had breakfast, we had several parallel activities going on: some people went plogging, other decided to move their body at the ICMAB garden, some other did some sketching, while some people played board games, chess and even go! During all morning there was as well a gimcana style activity consisting of finding the letters LGTBQI+ across the centre!
