Mardi 18 avril 2023

From April 11 to 15, the Rouen campus hosted the first edition of Green Week, an eco-responsible student week dedicated to ecology and solidarity.

This first edition was organized by UniLaSalle Rouen's student associations and clubs with the support of UniLaSalle's DD-TES (Sustainable Development - Ecological and Societal Transformation) Department.

📅 Throughout the week, the highly motivated students proposed a program in connection with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, something to please the greatest number of people!

Favorite activities: foodie dates 🥞, 🧀, 🧑‍🍳!

From a fair trade breakfast to a zero waste dinner to a tasting of local wines and cheeses offered by the Oeno and UniCheese clubs, students and employees alike responded!

The zero waste dinner was organized by the student association Make it Green: they collected unsold goods from local businesses and cooked a free dinner for over 50 people: a real success! Make it Green is thinking of repeating the operation in different forms. To be continued...

Leisure time was also a hit!

The musical lunch break offered by the LaSalle de Zik club 🎤 and the board game evening offered by the LaSalle de jeux club 🎲 brought together the entire educational community. Beautiful moments of conviviality in the UniLaSalle style!

 

Several collections also took place throughout the week:

Collection of used writing materials, plastic caps, sanitary pads and clothing. The fruit of this collection 🛍 will be distributed to local associations working in favor of people with disabilities and the fight against precariousness. 

The educational appointments also found their audience:

Debate on peasant seeds with the Triticum association, film-debate around the documentary "La fabrique des pandémies" with the student association UmaNi'terre, AVSF and our colleague Marie-Pierre Bruyant and then round-table discussion on water with L'Obs and Normandie pour la paix.
