Under her leadership, the Campus Fonderie de l’Image is also committed to promoting visual arts to the widest audience, providing a platform for expression and opportunities for all.
Congratulations to Florence Guebey for her leadership and dedication to training in the media and creativity field. A wonderful example of commitment to gender equality and inclusion!
Employers are placing increasing importance on the combination of technical skills and soft skills (behavior and attitude of employees at work). Human aspect has become a crucial, even privileged, element in the recruitment process.
It is interesting to note that some employers are even willing to hire people who do not have all the required technical skills but possess excellent interpersonal qualities. As Pierre-Gilles Bouquet, founder of the recruitment firm Voluntae, points out, “There are people who are not the most technically gifted but make the work more enjoyable”. For him, these skills are “very important,” even though they vary greatly from one person to another.
The recruitment expert also highlights the importance of proactive participation and engagement in the professional environment, which are particularly appreciated by recruiters.
Golden Blocks is driven by the desire to give equal opportunities to young people from disadvantaged urban and rural areas by making sports accessible to all! Since its creation in 2014 by Boro Doucouré, Matthieu Lahaye, and French 110-meter hurdles legend Ladji Doucouré, Golden Blocks has reached over 20 000 young people in France. Through annual athletics tours and innovative events, the organization reveals talents and offers more than 40 athletics licenses to promising young people each year.

Énergie Partagée has been federating and supporting actors of citizen energy in France for about a decade. The network is currently supporting 350 projects, whether they are photovoltaic installations, wind farms, biogas plants or wood-fired heating plants.
Énergie Partagée encourages the development of renewable energies locally and involves farmers more or less directly in an increasing share of the projects. As drivers of citizen cooperation, farmers often have local responsibilities and a real involvement in the trajectory of their territory. A vision that is indispensable for developing projects of this scale!
