Description

This course starts during the first day of classes (integration).

During this course, students will participate in the design and implementation of two major annual events in the field of ecology: the Biodiversity Festival (Festi'Versité) and the National Biodiversity Exhibition (SNB). Since 2008, these events have been a way to bring together, get to know and promote all the players in the professional field of ecology in France.

In connection with partner organizations (OFB, F-CEN, UPGE, F-CPIE, UM, CNRS, local authorities, etc.) and the organizing professional structure, the students are assistants to the management of the two events.) and the organizing professional structure, the students are assistants to the project management of the two events by occupying various positions according to their motivations, interests and capacities (experience, skills, proposed trainings) in connection with volunteers from other trainings (BTS): recruitment and reception of the public and speakers, media animations, communication, security (fire risk, first aid), logistics, search for financing, eco-responsibility... The positions are proposed through job descriptions on which the students apply during the integration seminar of the master.

Supported by an Adhoc structure (in the process of being set up) and under the direction of a steering committee bringing together their main stakeholders, these two events integrate the assistance of students from the Environmental Management Master's program of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Montpellier within the framework of their teaching and through their student associations.

- Festi'Versité, the biodiversity festival. It allows to sensitize and educate the general public to the stakes of ecology through animations, shows, games, conferences, projections, photographic exhibitions.
