90 years of IHEDN exhibition
To mark the Institute's 90th anniversary, this exhibition retraces the history of the IHEDN since it was founded in 1936.

For nine decades, it has pursued a singular mission: to train citizens from diverse backgrounds to better understand crises and threats, in the interests of national cohesion and resilience.
