The Role of Student Associations in the Ecological TransitionWhat are the main reasons why young people are concerned about the environment? How has their involvement developed in recent years? What are the obstacles to students’ involvement in these issues? How can student organisations accelerate social and environmental change?
In this talk, Flavie Vincke, Vice-president in charge of the ecological emergency at the FAGE (French Federation of Students’ Associations and EU Green associate partner), will look at the role of French young people and student associations in the ecological transition.
Her presentation will focus on three main themes:
- Overview of young people’s involvement in socio-environmental issues.
- Link with educational issues: as a place of learning, universities must play a leading role in the changes we want to see in society. In collaboration with various partners, they must develop programmes that enable young people to acquire the resources they need to adapt their field of study to environmental and social challenges.
- Role of student associations in raising young people’s awareness of these issues, particularly through the implementation of a variety of projects.
The presentation will be followed by a discussion and Q&A session with the speaker.
Online lecture organised by the University of Angers in partnership with the French Federation of Students’ Associations (FAGE).
