On Saturday, the 3rd of February, the IPN visited an Iranian restaurant, Café Safran in Jena for socializing - here their report:

"It was located in the northern part of Jena, up the hill - a small cafe amidst one-family residences. The whole cafe was reserved for us. We tried kebabs, kaschke bademjan, Iranian coffee, and many other things – it was so much that some of us took the leftovers home. Thanks to everyone, who did join and a special appreciation goes to Bita and Omid for being our kind Iran ambassadors!"

The next IPN meet is planned at DNT Weimar, Theaterplatz for an Italian opera - Romeo & Juliet on 29th March 2024, 4:45 pm.

Follow the IPN network on social media, too @ipn_weimar or register for their mailing list, if you want to be part of it in the future!
