On 7 November 2025, the Founding President, Yves Djimi, together with the Co-Presidents, Martha Leszczinski and Clara Chevalier, met at the École Militaire with Général Didier Oustric and his team to discuss the logistical planning and organisation of the 2025/2026 edition of the competition. Held within one of France’s most prestigious military institutions, the meeting provided the framework for coordinating the operational, educational, and ceremonial components of the upcoming edition.
With the Opening Ceremony scheduled to take place across both the École Militaire and Les Invalides, preparations are already setting the stage for a memorable and ambitious programme.
This meeting marked a significant milestone in the development of the new edition, confirming the shared commitment of all partners to deliver an exceptional experience for participating students—one that reflects the historical importance of the two sites and the values of Franco-British relations at the heart of Entente Cordiale Day initiative.
