27&28 may 2023 in
Tua Valley
Ten years later, to (re)view the (new) Tua valley.
27 and 28 May 2023
We hope this can be an interesting opportunity to meet again some of the FOZTUA project people and to look at the changes in Tua valley by the new dam (completed).
Unfortunately, this time we have no funding available. We will do our best to keep costs affordable.
See here who has said to be present or not.
