Back-to-school 2023: EM Normandie Business School commits to a sustainable world

At the start of the 2023 academic year, EM Normandie Business School welcomes 6,500 students, including more than 2,000 newcomers. The new school year is once again under the banner of ‘School for Good.

From Thursday 31 August to Saturday 2 September, post-baccalaureate students from the Grande Ecole Programme, the Bachelor in International Management and the BBA, who are new to the three national campuses (Caen, Le Havre and Paris), will be working in teams on a Business Game with 4 CSR themes: Long-distance mobility, Daily mobility, Consumption/Fast fashion and Food.

Supported by 75 volunteer EM Normandie graduates and 50 guest speakers, the groups of around 15 students will build their project and present it in the form of a pitch to a panel of professionals. The aim is to introduce students to the challenges of sustainable development, get them to think about practical issues related to their daily lives and/or their local area, and familiarise them with the principles of setting up projects, particularly associations. The 3-day event will end with prize-giving evenings on each campus.

For all other students (PGE, BBA, Bachelor of International Management, MS or MSc or international students), the start of the new academic year will be spread over the following weeks in seminar mode, with themed workshops on commitment, interculturality, getting to grips with tools and finding internships.
