Special Events
- Official introduction: at IK you arrive and we throw you right into it. But don’t worry. A proper welcome and information will be given after dinner on the first night of IK.
- Interaction groups: you are very welcome to participate the interaction groups which take place during the first evening. You find your interaction group number on the backside of your booklet. More information will be given during the official introduction.
