On Wednesday 27 September 2023, the day before the WBN starts, we offer two Wood Building Safaris. You can book one of them or, as they are sequential, both as well. In both Safaris, the mingle-dinner at Linnaeus University Campus is included; yet, if you book Safari 1 only, you have a couple of hours spare time before the mingle-dinner. Important: On Safari 1 you go by bus and on Safari 2 you mainly walk by yourself!
