THE ENS PARIS-SACLAY’S MULTICULTURAL COMMITMENT
In 2021-2022, ENS Paris-Saclay welcomes more than 350 international students and doctorates from 63 different nationalities. Several events are then organized to develop multicultural exchanges.
MULTICULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Since 2018, international students have participated in the realization of an annual multicultural event supported by the international relations department, ranging from the creation of international recipe books to the publication of a collection of stories and legends.
Each year, the students also meet in December to celebrate the end of the year around a good meal and exchange a few gifts. In January, to celebrate the start of the new year, they meet to taste the traditional galette des rois.
This multicultural aspect, underlined in the criteria of the Bienvenue en France Label obtained with 2 stars in 2020, is an important element of inclusion that the School tends to promote throughout the year by organizing events, whether cultural, sports or festive.
Despite the health restrictions imposed by COVID 19, exchanges were maintained remotely. Thus, 17 students produced in 2021 an international collection of tales and legends
2nd edition of the "Collection of International Stories and Legends"
Each year, the International Relations Department of ENS Paris-Saclay compiles and distributes an international cultural exchange booklet thanks to the contributions of its international students whether they are enrolled in a master's degree, a doctorate, an international exchange or an Erasmus stay.
- You will find 15 different nationalities among the 63 nationalities represented at ENS Paris-Saclay.
- More than 30 stories were collected from the 4 corners of the world, between Algeria, India, Italy and Venezuela.
We warmly thank Yifan, Genxiang, Sieka, Jianhong, Anastasia, Magin Benedict, Kasidapa, Adriana, Hai Linh, Yousra, Qisheng, Francesca, Shikhar, Yi-Hong, Benjamin-Hieu, Naheed et Giann Karlo for their interest and participation.
