<strong>ICOM</strong> Senegal<br />
Cultural and scientific days (9am – 1pm, 3pm – 6pm and 9pm – 12am)<br />
Visit, performance, educational programme.<br />
<strong>ICOM</strong> Senegal organises each year on IMD scientific days that follow an essay competition for lower–sixth- and<br />
upper-sixth form students. Fifth-form students have been targeted for this year’s theme. A month before the<br />
days that will take place after the one organised by each museum, one museum receives all the museum<br />
professionals of Senegal and assimilated institutions and the 10 or 15 primed students during a weekend for<br />
discussions with a dinner debate, visits of sites and also a cultural evening. Moreover, authorities will be<br />
invited to share these moments and to enhance the prize-giving ceremony with their presence. The prizes are<br />
generally offered by partners in each town that contains a museum. This year, since the armed forces museum<br />
has a bus museum which relates the history of servicemen, the bus museum will move to the host town so as<br />
to enable students and other visitors to visit the Senegalese and African military history.<br />
