#Fiersdenosétudiants - Pink October by AMESF and CNESF

, ,

Every year, the Pink October campaign raises awareness of breast cancer screening. Our midwifery students and associations in Montpellier and Nîmes, AMESF and CNESF, are particularly committed to this cause. 

 

In Montpellier, AMESF mobilizes for the Ruban Rose association

Every year, the AMESF gets involved in the Pink October campaign with a number of actions. The aim? To raise awareness of breast cancer screening among students at the University of Montpellier. And, of course, to raise as much money as possible for Ruban Rose, an association committed to the fight against breast cancer.

 

Awareness of self-palpation

The first preventive step is self-palpation! To make students aware of the right gestures, AMESF set up a stand at the faculties of Medicine (ADV) and STAPS on October 6, 7 and 8. At theUFR STAPS, the stand was run in collaboration with the PESAP association, the association for students in the Master's program in Prevention, Health Education and Physical Activity.

On the program: introducing students to the correct gestures for self-palpation, with the help of a demonstration model loaned by the University Department of Maieutics. All in all, nearly 300 students were able to take part!

 

And for the more timid, or for those who couldn't make it, AMESF thought of everything with detailed posts on their social networks.

Fundraising

 

AMESF's work doesn't stop there. In fact, the association actively supports Ruban Rose, the association fighting breast cancer, by donating the funds raised during their annual action.

This year, the association set up a tombola in addition to their usual stand selling delicacies. Thanks to their commitment and the many contributors to the tombola, the association has already raised over 500 euros, all of which will be donated to the Ruban Rose association! A real success for our students, who have exceeded last year's donation.

 

 

Today, the association has set itself a new goal: to exceed 650 euros in donations to Ruban Rose! To help them achieve this, you can buy a raffle ticket for just €2.

 

➡️Vous to buy raffle tickets: 

📌At the association's offices during office hours (1:30pm-2:00pm)  

📌Via pumpkin ticketing : 

Buy a raffle ticket

Tickets cost €2, and the draw will take place on October 30.

 

In Nîmes, the CNESF crocodiles get involved with the Ligue contre le Cancer (League against Cancer)

Following in the footsteps of its Montpellier counterpart, the Nîmes midwives' corpo is also mobilizing for Pink October. Several actions have been set up in aid of the Ligue contre le Cancer.

Operation "Les Chauves d'Octobre Rose" in partnership with Corpo Médecine

On October 1, the CNESF joined forces with the CCC (Corpo Carabins Crocodiles) for the "Chauves d'Octobre Rose" operation. 

The aim is twofold: to collect financial donations for the Ligue contre le Cancer, but also in-kind donations in the form of long locks of hair for the Fake Hair Don't Care association. The latter will use the locks to make wigs for chemotherapy patients.

 

Extract from Corpo Carabin Crocodiles stories about the "Shaved Skulls" operation in collaboration with the CNESF

 

No fewer than 8 volunteers agreed to cut their hair on campus, raising over 420 euros for the League! 

Awareness-raising and prevention on social networks

In parallel with this event, the CNESF produced several prevention posts on social networks. To raise awareness among as many people as possible, informative posters were published, along with a questionnaire on breast cancer screening. Don't hesitate to test your knowledge, there are prizes to be won:

Show your support with a CNESF pin!

Finally, the CNESF is offering to show its support for the Pink October campaign by purchasing a very attractive pin specially produced for the occasion. 

With a value of €2, you can show your support for the fight against breast cancer while doing a good deed: all proceeds go to the Ligue contre le Cancer!

Already 60 euros have been collected! If you'd like to buy the pins, don't delay: only a dozen are still in stock at the CNESF premises...

More than satisfactory overall results: #Proudofourstudents

The year 2020 and its particular context have in no way slowed down the action of our students. Thanks to the joint actions of the Nîmes and Montpellier associations, nearly 1,000 euros were raised for cancer charities. 

In addition, several hundred people were made aware of the need to prevent this disease, thanks to the various posters and visuals produced by the associations.

We're particularly proud of our students, and would like to thank all the generous donors who contributed to the fundraising events organized by the AMESF and CNESF.

Well done to all!

COVID-19 - Rules governing the use of classrooms and lecture theaters

, , ,

Due to the health situation, the Ministry of Higher Education has decided to reduce the capacity of teaching rooms on the Montpellier site by 50%. Read more in this article.

 

Update October 23, 2020: Like the Montpellier site, the Nîmes site has just been placed under reinforced alert.

The measures have therefore been extended to the Nîmes site. See relevant paragraphs below.

Lectures

Lectures are given face-to-face, and the number of students present is checked to ensure that the maximum number of seats occupied is 50%.

Specific provisions PASS / PACES Montpellier

PASS: Lectures are given face-to-face with a maximum of 50% of the room's capacity, respecting 1 place out of 2. Courses will be available on Moodle during the day.

PACES: Lectures have already been dematerialized.

Specific provisions PASS / PACES Nîmes

PASS: Two amphitheaters are available on the ADV site and one on the Flahault site; students who are unable to find places will have the courses available on Moodle. Screening will be provided to prevent access to the amphitheater once seats are occupied.

PACES: Lectures have already been dematerialized.

Specific provisions for 1st cycle Montpellier

A survey will be set up the day before the course to find out where you are in the classroom. If possible, other students will be able to follow the course on zoom or moodle after the recording.

Specific provisions for 1st cycle Nîmes

Lectures are given face-to-face, using a maximum of 50% of the room's capacity and respecting a ratio of 1:2.

Specific provisions for 2nd cycle Montpellier

Lectures are given face-to-face, with a controlled number of students present (100 per lecture hall or 25 per classroom for the ADV health campus, and 50% capacity for the UPM lecture halls). We therefore offer you an alternating presence. You will receive information specific to your UE or MI from the administrators or university secretariats. Students who are unable to attend face-to-face classes will have access to the recording provided as soon as possible for the DFASM1 and 2 classes. For UE1 and UE 10 of DFASM3, a zoom link will be sent to you.

When it is not possible to accommodate the entire class with a capacity reduced to 50%, teaching will take place as follows:

- Odd week Group 1 face-to-face + Group 2 distance learning
- Even week Group 1 remote + Group 2 face-to-face
Teachers will therefore have to organize their courses accordingly, i.e. in a hybrid format, with half of the class taking part in face-to-face classes, and the other half in distance learning via the Zoom application.
As a reminder, group 1 corresponds to the first half of the alphabetical list of students, group 2 corresponds to the 2nd half. (You will receive your class list specifying the groups from your school administrator shortly).
In all cases, the distance created by this new configuration must be respected.

 

Tutorials

DEs will be held in DE rooms with a maximum of 50% of seats occupied.

Specific provisions PASS / PACES Montpellier

PACES: Tutorials are given face-to-face, using a maximum of 50% of the room's capacity, respecting a ratio of 1:2. Only students enrolled in the scheduled group will be allowed to enter the classroom. You must therefore scrupulously respect the group to which you have been assigned.

In the event of the maximum number of students entering the room being reached, additional students will be denied access, but will be able to retrieve the session video on Moodle.

#AssoDeLaSemaine - Discover Orthofaso

,

After ANIMN a few days ago, it's time for Orthofaso, the speech therapy student association dedicated to solidarity projects! Today we meet Mélanie, secretary, who tells us more about the association's vocation, objectives and humanitarian actions!

 

Can you tell us a little about your association? What is your objective?

Orthofaso is an association under the law of 1901, created in 2006, whose aim is to promote and manage projects abroad through solidarity missions led by Montpellier speech therapy students. Since 2015, the association has been working at an orphanage for multi-handicapped children in Hô-Chi-Minh, Vietnam (previous interventions in Burkina Faso). This year's Orthofaso team is made up of 17 speech therapy school students.

We're going to Vietnam because the country was ravaged by war in the 1950s. The chemicals dumped on the country's land led to a very high rate of disability in the country, particularly among children. We work with children with a wide range of pathologies, most of whom suffer from cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and/or deafness.

What activities do you carry out throughout the year? Can you tell us about them?

To raise funds, we organize various events throughout the year:

  • Yard and dress sales
  • Improv theater evening
  • Blind test
  • Chocolats du Cœur" sales at Christmas and Easter
  • Gift wrap stands at Maison du Monde and Bruit dans la Cuisine from November to Christmas
  • Raffle
  • Sale of team-made bee wraps
  • Participation in the Castelnau-le-Lez Christmas market (sale of jars of cookie/muffin mixes, bee wraps, jams, objects, Christmas cards, etc.).
  • Sale of used games and speech therapy equipment to speech therapy students
  • Hello Asso kitty available for free online donations
  • Setting up Lilo (a search engine that finances social and environmental projects)
  • Sale of the association's ecocups and tote bags

Why did you join the association in a personal capacity? What does your association offer students?

On a personal level, I joined this association to make myself useful to others and work for a good cause. What's more, this experience allows me to be part of a team and see a project through from start to finish.

Orthofaso is an association dedicated to helping children with multiple disabilities in an orphanage. It enables the students who support us throughout the year to take part in different types of events that might interest and entertain them (blind tests, tombola, dress sale, improv theater evening, sale of second-hand equipment...) while helping us with our project.

Why and how to join your association?

There is no membership to our association.

Can you tell us a little about the election of the 2020-21 board?

The election of the Orthofaso team will take place during the 1st semester of the 2020-21 school year, but we can't give an exact date given the current health situation. Volunteer 4th-year speech therapy students will then be able to join the association.
