Involvement in associations and the community

What is Environment Week?

Every spring, Environment Week gives students the chance to get their green ideas off the ground.

It's a time for collective reflection on our role as citizens and the actions we can take on a local scale, with collective intelligence workshops, information stands, debates and festive events.

Organised by students, for students, it is coordinated by the popular education association Latitudeswith the participation of numerous student associations such as Inter'Asso Avignon, BANG, SAJES, Bacchus, BDE CERI or BD'Eureka.

📅  Environment Week 2025 runs from 22 to 28 March (detailed programming here)

Funding for actions via the FSDIE and the CVEC

The Student Initiatives Support and Development Fund (FSDIE) supports and finances projects proposed by student associations, paying particular attention to their ecological aspects.

The FSDIE makes it possible to :

  • Financing sustainable development initiatives, such as the Environment Week

Examples of projects eligible for funding:

  • 👕 Dress clearance sales
  • 🌱 Distribution of ecological products

The FSDIE is funded by the CVEC (Student and Campus Life Contribution)which, every two years, finances the Student Participatory Budget (BPE).

💡 You too can propose sustainable development projects! Each project can be funded up to 5 000 €.
