#ProudOfOurStudents – Pink October by AMESF and CNESF

, ,

Every year, the Pink October campaign raises awareness about breast cancer screening among as many people as possible. Our midwifery students and the associations in this field in Montpellier and Nîmes—AMESF and CNESF—are particularly committed to this cause. 

 

In Montpellier, AMESF rallies behind the Ruban Rose association

Every year, AMESF participates in Pink October by organizing several activities. The goal? To raise awareness among students at the University of Montpellier about breast cancer screening. All this, of course, while raising as much money as possible for Ruban Rose, an association committed to the fight against breast cancer.

 

Awareness of self-examination

The first step in prevention is self-examination! To raise awareness among students about the right steps to take, AMESF held a booth at the Faculty of Medicine (ADV) and the Faculty of Sports Science (STAPS) on October 6, 7, and 8. Atthe STAPS faculty, the stand was run in collaboration with PESAP, the association for students studying for a Master's degree in Prevention, Health Education, and Physical Activity.

On the agenda: teaching students the correct self-examination techniques using a model provided by the University Department of Midwifery. Results: nearly 300 students were made aware of the issue!

 

And for those who are more shy, or for those who couldn't make it, AMESF has thought of everything with detailed posts on their social media accounts.

Fundraising

 

The AMESF's work does not stop there. The association actively supports Ruban Rose, the association for the fight against breast cancer, by donating the funds raised during their annual campaign.

This year, the association organized a raffle in addition to their usual stand selling treats. Thanks to their commitment and the many contributors to the raffle, the association has already raised over €500, which will be donated in full to the Ruban Rose association! This is a real success for our students, who have exceeded last year's donation amount.

 

 

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

 

➡️You can purchase raffle tickets: 

📌At the association's office during office hours (1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.)  

📌Via the pumpkin ticket office:

The price of a ticket is €2 and the draw will take place on October 30.

 

In Nîmes, the CNESF crocodiles are committed to the League Against Cancer

Like its counterpart in Montpellier, the midwives' association in Nîmes is also getting involved in Pink October. Several initiatives are being organized to raise funds for the League Against Cancer.

Operation “Les Chauves d’Octobre Rose” (The Bald Ones of Pink October) in partnership with Corpo Médecine

On October 1, the CNESF joined forces with the CCC (Corpo Carabins Crocodiles) to carry out the "Les Chauves d'Octobre Rose" (Pink October Baldies) campaign. 

The goal is twofold: to collect financial donations for the League Against Cancer, but also donations in kind in the form of long strands of hair for the Fake Hair Don't Care association. The latter will use the strands to make wigs for chemotherapy patients.

 

Excerpt from the stories of the Corpo Carabin Crocodiles about the "Shaved Heads" operation in collaboration with the CNESF

 

No fewer than eight volunteers agreed to have their hair cut on campus, raising over €420 for the League! 

Awareness and prevention on social media

In parallel with this event, the CNESF published several prevention posts on social media. In order to raise awareness among as many people as possible, informative posters were published, as well as a questionnaire from the League on breast cancer screening. Feel free 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 beautiful pin specially designed for the occasion. 

Valued at €2, it will allow you to show your support for the fight against breast cancer while doing a good deed: all funds will be donated in full to the League Against Cancer!

We've already raised €60! If you want to get your hands on one of these pins, don't wait too long—there are only about ten left in stock at the CNESF office...

A more than satisfactory overall result: #Proudofourstudents

The year 2020 and its unique circumstances did nothing to slow down our students' efforts. Thanks to joint initiatives by associations in Nîmes and Montpellier, nearly €1,000 was raised for cancer charities. 

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

We are particularly proud of our students and would like to thank all the generous donors who contributed to the fundraisers organized by AMESF and CNESF.

Well done, everyone!

#AssociationOfTheWeek – Meeting with the CNESF

,

After our meeting with Dis-Lalie, the Montpellier association for speech therapy, this week we are meeting with CNESF, the association for midwifery in Nîmes!

In a nutshell, what is the CNESF?

The Nîmes Midwifery Students' Association is a non-profit organization under the French law of 1901, whose purpose is to represent midwifery students in Nîmes and to give them a voice within federations such as the ANESF (National Association of Midwifery Students, our sector federation) and the AGEM (Association Générale des Étudiants Montpelliérains, our regional federation). It also aims to listen to midwifery students in Nîmes, advise them where possible, and defend their rights and interests. Our association helps to energize the student life of its members by organizing solidarity and prevention events, as well as festive, sporting, and cultural events. Finally, it aims to improve our skills as future healthcare professionals by providing access to additional training.

What activities or actions do you implement throughout the year?

We try to expand our activities as much as possible through the association's various divisions. the association:

The public health center organized, for example, film screenings and café debates to discuss topics such as female genital mutilation and anonymous adoption, particularly after the screening of films in partnership with the Sémaphore de Nîmes.

As part of the annual awareness campaign for breast cancer screening, we created a calendar for Pink October. It shares prevention and information messages, and the money raised was donated to the League Against Cancer. We were also present at the Telethon alongside medical students.

Thanks to the development of communication on social media, we have created posters for world days, such as the one in collaboration with ANESF for World Contraception Day, and quizzes on various topics are also available. We have set up a mentoring program between different classes, which will be further developed next year. 

Festive and team-building events were organized, including the end-of-year gala, which unfortunately could not take place. As last year, we continued to develop our babysitting network. At the AGEM and ANESF level, we are present in person or remotely at every board meeting and general assembly in order to represent the midwifery students of Nîmes in decision-making.

Snack parties are organized every month to donate the proceeds to charities, to which we also donate clothing and equipment for children.

Finally, we participated in the PEPS week organized by Tutorat Santé Nîmes this year, at the student fair, as well as at the Faculty's open house to try to best answer questions from prospective students.

Why did you personally choose the midwifery program, and what does the association offer students in this program?


In my opinion, it's a field you choose out of passion. The studies are long and require a significant investment, particularly in the numerous internships. But Supporting couples, mothers, women, and even babies is what makes the difference. The diversity of our profession is what attracted me to it. We have a wide range of skills, whether in the private, public, or non-profit sectors, and we can support women throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period (if there are no complications). We can also provide preventive gynecological consultations and contraception. We sometimes experience difficult situations, but intense moments of life and emotion are there to remind us why we started this profession in the first place.

The association, meanwhile, provides opportunities to get together, whether at the local office or at events, and to learn through training courses offered by ANESF or AGEM. Members can also keep up to date with national news, which we relay regularly. For those who want to get involved in student life, it's a great way to flourish in the realization of their projects, while collaborating with other students.

Why do you think people should join your association? 

Joining our association is above all a gesture of support. We represent midwifery students in the faculty's student life. Joining allows you to keep up to date with various events and to connect with other associations within the faculty or outside it. In fact, membership includes membership in both AGEM and ANESF, which allows you to stay informed about the debates within these associations and potentially have an impact by giving your opinion on issues. It is therefore an opportunity to feel involved in the future of the profession and student life in the region, but also to raise issues more generally.

Membership is also the only way to vote at general meetings for future teams that will represent you in the next terms of office. And on the more fun side, membership gives you access to a wide range of partnerships that our fabulous VP Part has secured. From laser tag to products from Luneale, Fempo, and many others, you can enjoy great discounts. Finally, we have partnerships with professional insurance companies that offer additional protection to students on internships.

How do you join? 

Joining is very easy: just visit our association's offices on the university campus between noon and 2 p.m. (every day) and pay €7 by check, cash, or even Lydia. We will give you a nice little card with our social media details. You can join at any time throughout the year, but we close membership two weeks before the General Assembly at the end of the term.

A few words about the 2020-2021 board?

Unfortunately, given the current health situation, this year's handover will take place remotely. remotely. We are in contact with the members of the board who are running for the 2020-2021 term and who are more motivated than ever. There are some exciting projects in the pipeline that we can't wait to find out more about. It is with a slight twinge of sadness that we leave this term of office, especially with a difficult end to the year, but we have complete confidence in the commitment of the incoming board. These are motivated young women with experience and a lot of enthusiasm, everything they need to succeed. We could not have left this term of office more peacefully than with such a promising new generation taking over!
