Le 121e he "IHEDN-Youth" course in Paris opened on Monday 26 October 2020.
Of the 400 applicants, 60 were lucky enough to be selected to follow this course at the École Militaire.
The session was opened by Lt-Gen Patrick Destremau, Director of the Institut des hautes études de défense nationale (IHEDN) and of Higher Military Education.
Aurèlie Vittot, who has a doctorate in political science, then gave a panorama of the contemporary world, a presentation that prompted many questions and fully engaged the audience in the dynamics of the "IHEDN-Youth" cycle.
The traditional photograph, in the main courtyard of the École Militaire, rounded off a training session that augured well for the week ahead.
