In September 2020, the Ministry of Solidarity and Health published a report titled “The First 1,000 Days.” This report served as a basis for a project by second-year students in the Midwifery program at our faculty.

A report as a cornerstone

This report, commissioned by Olivier Véran, Minister of Solidarity and Health, is the result of work by several researchers specializing in early childhood: child psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, educators, doctors, and others. It highlights the importance of a child’s first 1,000 days of life.

Since reports of this kind can be lengthy and difficult for families or professionals in the field to understand, the task assigned to the second-year students in the Maieutics program was to simplify the information contained in this report. To do so, their project involved crafting messages that were clear and accessible to everyone and presenting them on a poster for wide distribution.

Studies that are increasingly relevant to current events

Studies in midwifery are closely tied to current events. In fact, as soon as a new law regarding children or parenting goes into effect, midwives must adapt.

For these reasons, students in the Maieutics program take courses in the humanities and social sciences as part of their curriculum. These courses help students understand current events related to this field and explore the diverse cultures and family situations that our future healthcare professionals may encounter. The goal is to enable them to adapt to each patient and provide the best possible care.

Another goal of this course is to help them realize that they can play an active role in society, particularly by making the information they have more accessible to as many people as possible—which is precisely the purpose of the project they have been entrusted with.

 

The Science Outreach Project

The assignment given to the students was to translate scientific knowledge into clear messages for a socially and culturally diverse audience, while taking into account the many different forms of family. The course instructor, Kristina t’Felt, who holds a Ph.D. in sociology, divided the class into four groups. Each group was to work on a different topic:

  • Group 1

     Interactions between children and parents (Part I A of the report).

  • Group 2

    Lifestyle Factors Affecting Child Development (Part I B of the Report)

  • Group 3

    The “1,000-Day Journey”: Personalized Parent-Child Support (Part II of the Report)

  • Group 4

    Maternity Leave (Part IV A of the report)

Graphic Design Projects

As part of this project, four posters were created in partnership with students from the Montpellier Private Institute of Higher Education in Applied Arts (IPESAA). These posters will be distributed by students in the Maieutics program. Here they are:

A sustainable initiative

Given its success among students and its educational value, this project will be continued for third-year Maieutics students in Nîmes.
