In September 2020, the Ministry of Solidarity and Health published a report entitled "The First 1,000 Days." This report served as a basis for work by second-year midwifery students at our faculty.

A report as a pillar

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

As reports of this type can be lengthy and difficult for families or professionals in the field to access, the task for the second-year midwifery students was to simplify the information contained in this report. To do this, their project involved creating messages that were meaningful and accessible to all and transcribing them onto a poster for wide distribution.

Studies increasingly linked to current events

Midwifery studies are deeply connected to current events. Indeed, as soon as a new law concerning children or parenting comes into effect, midwives must adapt.

For these reasons, Maieutics students take courses in humanities and social sciences during their studies. These courses enable them to understand current events related to this field and to study the different cultures and family situations that our future healthcare professionals may encounter. This is so that they can adapt to each patient and provide them with the best possible care.

The aim of this course is also to make them aware that they can be active participants in society, in particular by disseminating the information they have to make it 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 students was to transform scientific knowledge into clear messages for a diverse audience, both socially and culturally, while taking into account the many different forms of family. The course instructor, Kristina t'Felt, PhD in sociology, divided the class into four groups. Each group had to work on a different theme:

  • Group 1

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

  • Group 2

    Lifestyle for child development (Part I B of the report)

  • Group 3

    The "1000-day journey": personalized parent-child monitoring (part II of the report)

  • Group 4

    Birth leave (Part IV A of the report)

Graphic productions

Thanks to this project, four posters were created in partnership with students from the Montpellier Private Institute of Higher Education in Applied Arts (IPESAA). These can be distributed by midwifery students. Here they are:

A sustainable initiative

Given its success with students and in terms of teaching, this project will be repeated with third-year midwifery students in Nîmes.

Dear students, every year, health students admitted to Medicine are divided between the Montpellier and Nîmes teaching sites. This year, this division will take place on July 16 at 9 a.m.

 

Due to recent events, the terms of this distribution have changed. Please refer to the article below, updated on July 15, 2021, at 8 a.m.
