When students embark on their university career, one of the major concerns is finding a balance between academic demands and social life. Student residences play a crucial role. Welcome parties have become commonplace and are proving to be a great help in the social integration of tenants. By bringing together newcomers and established residents, these social gatherings encourage the creation of links, cultural diversity and support among neighbors.
The primary aim is to break the ice between newly arrived students and those who have already made the residence their home.
It's an informal event, where discussions can flourish naturally, on a variety of subjects such as courses of study, interests and past experiences.
Over time, however, these exchanges can evolve into deeper discussions, creating solid, lasting relationships as well as a mutual aid movement.
Pot d'accueil is a unique opportunity to showcase diversity! Tenants have the opportunity to share their traditions, cuisine and customs. These cultural exchanges foster mutual understanding, deconstruct stereotypes and create an environment where everyone feels valued.
FAC-HABITAT's "pots d'accueil" are only the first events of the year, and every year there are many opportunities to meet new people in the student residences: Halloween, Christmas, La galette des rois... So many good times to share and enjoy together!
