Mr Lariche, who is also on the Asia Board of Aflatoun International (an NGO based in the Netherlands offering social and financial education to children and young people worldwide), conducted a session on how to effectively present oneself, the importance of being self-aware, and the necessary improvements to make to secure a job.
