For the past three years, the city of Cluny has been organizing events as part ofPink October. This year, engineering students from Grande Ecole Engineering Programme at Arts et Métiers Cluny campus have stepped up to the cause.
A class mobilized for the Pink Walk
Adeline Weiss, director of the Cluny social center, asked engineering students at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Cluny to participate in the Marche Rose (Pink Walk) held on October 12. Emmanuelle Dorsival and Clairette Pisano, second-year students, were particularly sensitive to this public health initiative. Both are members of the GaSole association in Cluny. As part of this association, they led a humanitarian trip to Colombia last summer with around twenty of their classmates.
As president of GaSole, I am sensitive to humanitarian actions. Solidarity also means getting involved in initiatives such as those carried out with the social center in the town of Cluny, emphasizes Emmanuelle Dorsival.
For the Pink Walk, they mobilized all the students in their class to create an arch, sell T-shirts, and hand out roses to participants.
Donation of proceeds from the Pink Walk to the League Against Cancer
The proceeds from the sale of T-shirts and donations were presented on Tuesday, October 15, in the presence of Michel Jauzein, campus director, and Emmanuelle Dorsival, member of the Cluny student association, to Maryse Colin and Patrice Caillas, members ofthe League Against Cancer, at Cluny Town Hall.
A long-term partnership
Adeline Weiss, director of the Cluny Community Center, organizes various events in the town of Cluny. She has once again reached out to the students for the carnival, but also to draw on the skills they acquired during their training in theGrande Ecole Engineering Programme Arts et Métiers .
Students will be invited to give young people from Cluny advice during technical workshops on wood, says Adeline Weiss.
Wood: materials, processes, and constructionis one of the institution's 30 areas of expertise and one of four areas of expertise offered on the Cluny campus and at the institutes in Chalon-sur-Saône and Chambéry.
