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