A twenty students from all sectors have embarked on the adventure, seduced as much by the originality of the concept as by the first prize: two round-trip tickets to Saint-BarthélemyThe written test took place over one day. For two hours, participants answered around forty questions, ranging from QCM to written reflection, around the selected book: 'Dad, can I come home to die?' by Tony Delsham, a Martinican writer. This powerful 1997 novel, chosen for its human and emotional impact, generated real commitment from the candidates.
