Concours d'éloquence: victory for IAE Valenciennes!

This exciting event brings together 47 representatives from 14 IAEs from all over France to immerse themselves in the art of public speaking.

During the first round, students competed in eloquence on the imposed theme: "freedom".
Thereafter, the 24 qualifiers presented their speeches on a topic of their choice from a selection including such captivating questions as "are the dice cast?", "is living without hope, ceasing to live?", "you're always someone's stranger", "was it necessary to bite the apple?", or "the art of procrastination".

At the end of the first round, the students presented their speeches on a topic of their choice.

Then, the 10 finalists launched into 12-minute duels, each dealing with a topic drawn at random and prepared in just one hour. We'd like to salute the unfailing commitment of our five particularly determined students: Bilel Hamour (L3MDO), Maximilien Mayeur (L3CCA), Léo Lienard (L3CCA).

At the end of a thrilling day, it's the brilliant David Kaczmarek (M2CCA), who wins this competition and brings the monumental cup back to the IAE Valenciennes premises!
Our congratulations also go to Bryan Seuron (L3MDO), a deserving finalist.

Thank you all for keeping our IAE's fine spirit alive!
