Lyon Campus – Camping Trip to Ardèche
This was a first! Groupe IGENSIA Education (formerly Groupe IGS) students in Lyon had the opportunity to go on a camping trip to the Ardèche from September 24-26.
A wonderful initiative by the Groupe IGENSIA Education's (formerly Groupe IGS) student office, which organized an orientation seminar to welcome everyone from Groupe IGENSIA Education (formerly Groupe IGS) schools and training centers.
Themed parties on Friday and Saturday nights, brunch on Saturday and Sunday, a giant barbeque, pool time, Ping-Pong, football, basketball, or bocce ball awaited learners who were housed in furnished mobile homes with partially covered patios.
Open to all students and learners, this weekend was a great opportunity for them to exchange, share, have fun and get to know one another.
Paris Campus – One Back-to-School Season, Several Events
The back-to-school season for Groupe IGENSIA Education (formerly Groupe IGS) schools and training centers in Paris took place over several different dates.
Directors from the Erasmus+ program, student life directors, and Groupe IGENSIA Education (formerly Groupe IGS) partners were also present to acquaint students with services such as housing assistance, financial aid, or acquiring computer equipment, among others.
On September 30th, the traditional orientation day organized for all students took place at the Parc Astérix, which was privatized for the event. Students were also able to discover the “back-to-school village,” a space where Groupe IGENSIA Education (formerly Groupe IGS) clubs and partners were able to answer everyone’s questions. As for work-study training students, they had their own orientation day at the Parc Astérix, once again privatized, on October 21st.
