Koumbit invite le Comité pour les droits humains en Amérique latine pour son 5@7 le 2 octobre 2009

L'automne ne marque pas seulement le retour au travail et la contemplation nostalgique des feuilles tombantes, mais également la reprise des 5@7 mensuels de Koumbit.

Nous vous invitons donc à jaser autour d'une bière dans nos locaux le vendredi 2 octobre 2009 dès 17h.

Pour la rentrée, nous avons décidé de changer un peu la formule de cet évènement en invitant des représentants d'organismes communautaires que nous trouvons intéressants.
