Two events a year take place on the lawn of the INP building. The Welcome BBQ kicks off the year over a whole weekend (Saturday-Sunday): DJ set by Club Mix, brass band Fanfar'naque, photos by INProd, grilled food (meat, merguez sausages, vegetarian options like falafel), student-priced drinks, and entertainment. The End-of-Year BBQ closes the year on a single Saturday, celebrating the end of exams before the holidays.<\/p>\r\n

What to bring: an eco-cup, sunscreen, your school t-shirt, sneakers, and a good mood.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n
