Training & Capacity Building
AYM Conseil’s training programmes are designed and led by Ilham Lahreche, founder of AYM Conseil and a strategic communication and media expert with more than 25 years of professional experience. Her academic background in discourse analysis and multimedia journalism is complemented by extensive field experience in journalism, institutional communication, media relations, public affairs, strategic advisory, training and organizational facilitation. Certified by Thomson Reuters in Strategic Storytelling and Government Communications, she combines academic depth, editorial rigour and practical expertise to develop programmes tailored to the realities and objectives of each organization.
Each programme is designed according to the organization’s context, audience, objectives and operational challenges. It may be delivered as a focused workshop, a full-day session, a multi-session programme or as part of a broader diagnostic and organizational support process.
The objective is not simply to transfer knowledge, but to help participants apply clear methods, improve coordination and strengthen their communication practices in real working situations.
