The Social Openness mission is part of a common movement of the top-ranking French higher education establishments (Grandes écoles) aiming to make higher education more accessible to children from disadvantaged social classes.

The CGE (Conference of Grandes Écoles) defines this action as follows: “The Social Openness Group” (GOS) was created in 2005 to serve as an exchange platform to support the development of initiatives in favor of social openness and equal opportunities in higher education institutions. Within the Social Openness Group (GOS), most schools are committed to facilitating access for disadvantaged social classes to the Grandes Écoles. Information, awareness-raising, support, tutoring, agreements with public authorities… many measures are deployed to achieve this. »

The actions:

• 30 Efrei students who play the role of mentorsfor 30 high-school children for two hours per week. The mentoring actions focus on methodological support as well as the co-construction of the students’ study paths.
• Through visits to companies and higher education establishments, the Cordées seeks to remove the psychological and social obstacles that hinder the ambition of young people.
• Interventions from our students and alumni will be planned at the Lycée Georges Brassens in the town of Villeneuve Le Roi to present digital jobs.

The Anti-racism Anti-semitism Mission is part of the school’s values on the right to be different and the fight against discrimination at the school.

Mission objectives:

Raise awareness among students to racism and anti-semitism in all its forms. These are the fundamental values ​​of the French Republic: freedom, equality, fraternity and secularism.

It is about leading a fight against the normalization of hatred. Every word, insult, misconduct or gesture of a racist or anti-Semitic nature must be fought from the outset. This is to avoid any escalation and excess which everyone knows can lead to confrontation. It’s also to lead a fight against conspiracy theories and the identity and communitarian drifts that often accompany them.
