From 1 January to 16 January, the AIESEC welcomes young specialists who are to work with the schools. Battoum adds, "Because these youngsters are themselves students, and are from far afield, this can only better capture the attention of our students".

Many training sessions have been held for international and local specialists aged between 18 and 25. More than 100 students are being taught to become binome trainers.

) as part of the training programme. A second conference was held 7 March, focusing on the vulnerability and the changes of behaviour in youth.
The closing ceremony was held in the form of plays, realised by the students themselves, with the objective of making youngsters react and to implicate all of the actors concerned in this debate.
