It also gives them an essential skill to evolve in a complex world, constantly changing. This is the major ambition of these training programs: to create the right conditions for students to develop sustainable attitudes that will enable them to continue learning throughout the path they will take after university, thus contributing to a profound renewal of the methods, horizon and spirit of public policies at the national level and on the African continent.
