Student initiatives
Student associations linked to social commitment
- ESIG’ Computer: recycles and reconditions computers for associations, schools or other people who need them. http://www.esigcomputer.com/
- STOP: raises awareness about the dangers of drink driving with preventative activities carried out in nightclubs. They also collect bottle caps for recycling which helps people with disabilities obtain wheelchairs. http://stop.esigelec.fr/stop/
- JDC Renewable Energy: organises conferences linked to sustainable development.
Creativity and initiative projects
Project directions linked to social commitment also play a part in the creativity and initiative projects led by students during the first year, in teams of 4 or 5. A few examples:
- Raising awareness about discrimination at school: making children aware of differences and how they enrich life (theatrical improvisations/workshop)
- First aid training
- Raising students’ awareness of ecology through the use of wood
Tutoring
- Each year, as part of the “100,000 students for 100,000 school children” programme, or the “Success Ladders” scheme, around 50 engineering students support secondary level school children with their school work and also their leisure activities or cultural learning. These activities and assessed and given grades.
