Intro

The Guide to Social

Studying in a Grande Ecole of management means giving yourself the resources to gain just as many life skills as practical skills. Community life is a crucial part of the experience, a veritable professional particle accelerator! Bringing ambitious projects to fruition, participating in social adventures, putting your skills to use in the service of others, balancing a budget worthy of an SME or simply learning to live and build together – the INSEEC social clubs allow each one of you to confront your aspirations in a real context.

Art & culture The Bureau for the Arts-let your talents shine

The Bureau for the Arts (BDA) groups all the cultural and artistic associations’ activities together under a single entity. This arrangement provides the best framework for developing ambitious and wide-ranging artistic projects in music, dance, painting, theater and cinema. It also covers the school newspaper and even delves into the worlds of fashion and luxury.

The BDA encourages all students to reveal their talents be it through theater production, improvisation battles, dance performances, movie screenings or short-film making.

In’Ciné, Mus’INSEEC, live, Move... are the clubs that promote access to culture for everyone, including videos projection, debate, trips to exhibits, music or dance lessons, cultural weekends in France or the great European

capitals (London, Berlin, Prague) and not forgetting Culture Week organized

by Branchée Culture in Paris. The BDA also organizes concerts, festivals and themed events like Figures of Style in Bordeaux (in association with Beachbreak) ; the springboard for rock groups, Battle of Noise in Paris; or the Cabaret Evening in Chambéry.

Simply put, students become the stars of the cultural landscape on campus and in their city! Fashionistas can find an outlet for their creativity while honing it to a professional edge by organizing fashion shows, sales, visits to the Paris Museum of Fashion, meeting with designers and maintaining a blog which has already attracted attention worthy of the catwalk. Sure, it’s fashion but not just skin deep, In’Lux, for example has organized a series of conferences on the luxury industry with professionals from this sector known as a tough nut to crack (automobile, leather goods, jewelry, watchmaking, leisure,

cosmetics, even wine and spirits).

Le Studio bordelais, a new student club, promotes the fashion sphere in Bordeaux through different events in collaboration with local creators and photographers.

Key players of campus life and the living «memory cards» of the school, the photographers and cameramen from Rococo (Paris), iMotion (Chambéry) and Rewind (Bordeaux) cover all INSEEC charitable and professional events including conferences, rugby matches, the end-of-the-year gala, skiing trips and the graduation ceremony. We mustn’t forget to mention the presentation of their work in the amphitheater and their creativity on our websites which radiates school spirit so that even INSEEC students abroad can be plunged back into the atmosphere!

Sport Sporting: a champion on all counts With over 1000 members, athletics at INSEEC is steadily becoming the largest student sports club in France. Bringing together all of the INSEEC’s sports clubs in Paris, Bordeaux and Chambéry under one banner, this Omni sports club is one of the student athletic heavyweights in France.

Whether it’s for the love of the game or discovering a new sport, each student will have the opportunity to practice his or her sport of choice, be it as part of a team sport (handball, rugby, soccer/football, sailing, basketball and volleyball etc.), individual sport (tennis, golf or horseback riding) or for adrenalin 10

junkies (skydiving, sufing, skiing, skateboarding, rollerblading or gokarting).

Humanitarian Students helping others

Humanitarian associations are especially active on campus.

Our deeply involved students are motivated by the notion of sharing and the desire to help the disadvantaged through their civic and human acts.

Founded in Bordeaux by INSEEC students in 1987, the MHIGE (represented by Fair Plaiz in Paris) provides assistance to people in Eastern Europe. After their work in the Ukraine and Belarus, students are now collecting and delivering medical supplies to hospitals in Kosovo. The Paris association Fair Plaiz set up Humanitor in which students meet one day a week and volunteer at an external institution / association (hospitals, Red Cross). The African continent is not overlooked thanks to the involvement of several associations.

Ova INSEEC organizes the Afrik’art

N’Pola provides aid to FIDES, a local association, so they can build educational structures in Madagascar.

Since 2007, Med’INSEEC continues to promote sustainable development in the village of Kiri Palogo in Burkina Faso by getting involved in education, the environment and micro-credit initiatives. This kind of work is also undertaken in Morocco with Casem, which is committed to the underprivileged children in the village of Mirleft. In parallel, a dozen racing cars in the roads of 4L Trophy led to the intercampus team of 4L Troph’INSEEC which carried two tons of school supplies to Moroccan children. The humanitarian office (BDH) guides students from the Alpes-Savoie in implementing their international aid projects.

In France children’s charities are also the focus of In’Success and La cause des enfants. In partnership with the

national the Zup de Co association, students offer tutoring and personalized support for pupils in disadvantaged areas who need help with school. By organizing shows and inviting guest actors, the Bidibules work with sick children to brighten up their hospital stays.
