Social Programme Organization:

The TAROT 2013 recognizes a great importance to open discussion, dissemination, and socialization. In this respect, the School will include:

• An informal welcome on Monday night (not to feel alone in an unknown place),
• “Let’s get together” informal social activities to know each other,
• A social event on Friday.
