Doctoral school in Tunisia

A leap into the unknown Tunisia

Arrival at Carthage airport in Tunis after two successive flights by plane, departing from Constantine airport and passing through Houari Boumediene airport in Algiers, a very pleasant surprise at the airport, which is a meeting with the wonderful French lady Madame Manon, a feeling started that it would be an unforgettable, multicultural and dialectal experience, twelve countries, thirty-four doctoral students, in an atmosphere of hope and positive spirit, we got on the bus in the direction from the city of Sousse, we sat on the seats and started a journey to get to know each other, we did not notice the passage of time, two hours on the road as if it was a wink, The loud voice of Africans came from laughter, some arrived tired, so they turned to the empty places of the bus to rest. the wonderful summer atmosphere, a city by the Mediterranean, a truly unrivaled experience! Two days have passed, and each one knows the other, not everyone wants to go home, great homogeneity. The mentoring process was led by the teacher promoters, by Manon and the general manager Madame Oissila, who had no peace of mind until she saw everyone entering work, studies and harmony. The program was very rich and divided in a studied way, between lectures with teachers in the morning and workshops applied in the technopole. Sousse opened its doors to us, it became a daily routine for us after returning from school, a friendly atmosphere and harmony between doctoral students to rest, a group bathroom at night, gathering songs on the balcony in the morning. September last year was a truly unforgettable experience and I hope it will return to another country. Thank you to all Tunisians for their hospitality. One week was enough to dig up wonderful memories, passing by the tourist site of El Jem and to take advantage of the commemorative events to distribute the magnificent teachers and Mamon Manon, in the hope of seeing each other again.
