Institute office closed for the holiday season 2025-26

Déc 18, 2025 | 2025, News

Six people pose for a group photo in a modern office. Three are seated on a couch, and three stand behind them, smiling and looking directly at the camera. Large windows behind them reveal city architecture and natural daylight. They are surrounded by snow flakes and sparkles that have been added via canva.

Hyviä juhlapyhiä
Season’s greetings
Bonnes fêtes
