Unforgettable evenings are organized with and by the participants!

This trip brings together competent members of the international association and active European members of the Objectif Sciences International network. It is overseen directly by the International Headquarters Office in close partnership with the Local Group Operations Directorate of the NGO in the country. The young people are in immediate contact with the top management of these structures dedicated to science Science La science est désormais l’affaire de tous.

Its enough to say that this training course is of great quality!

True to the philosophy of Objectif Sciences International, the meetings of excellence program offers participants a project to be completed by the end of the internship. It is for the puspose of carrying out this project that they will follow the various workshops offered every day outside the time of rest or sports activities.

This seminar gives the relational keys that allow young people to better evolve and prepare to calmly enter the world of adults. Through the transfer of widely validated communication techniques, they will develop their skills in all situations (informal meeting, oral expression at school, presentation at the University, interview for an internship, speaking in groups, affirming their opinions, but also listening to each other!).
