PSETs al fresco with Prof. Boller.

Last Thursday, our students from the Psychology program visited the Musée des Arts Forains in Paris with Professor Lin Bian 🎠🪗
To deepen their understanding of childhood psychology, they stepped into a world of wonder guided by a marvelous host, discovering and trying vintage merry-go-rounds, carousels, and games from the Belle Époque, some even dating back to the late 19th century. 🎠

An afternoon of learning, laughter, and nostalgia… because what better way to explore childhood than by becoming children again? 😌🪗
