October 28, visit a university center and a high school

On October 28, a university center and a high school (Sup d'Eco and Liceo FAHU) were visited, each with a presentation of the March, its objectives and
its meaning.

We must also highlight the visit to Malick Sy de Thiès High School, a mythical center of instruction and protest in which most of the school and student strikes and rebellions in Senegal originated.

The proposal of the Clubs for Peace and Nonviolence It was widely discussed with the students of the FAHU high school and the Sup d'Eco university center in order to give continuity and deepen the themes of peace and nonviolence.

The topic was also a topic of conversation with the principal and teachers of Malick Sy High School.

It is necessary to highlight the network work done previously by Khady Sene, who coordinated the Thiès promoter team, allowing to cover a very complete agenda throughout those two days.
