A Student-Led Project Supporting Solidarity
First-year Bachelor Business and Marketing students at ICD Business School have demonstrated their entrepreneurial spirit and sense of responsibility through an ambitious associative project. Led by Lou-Ann, the project manager, alongside Camélia Xu, Nada Belarbi, and Thomas Bejjani, this initiative is part of the "Projet Assos" course, designed to introduce students to social issues and project management.
A Solidarity Project for La Chaîne de l’Espoir
Their goal: to engage 3,000 students in supporting La Chaîne de l’Espoir, an organization providing medical care to underprivileged children worldwide. To achieve this, the students organized a pastry sale yesterday in the central hall of ICD Business School. All proceeds will be donated to the association, emphasizing their commitment to the cause.
The project also includes the production of a short film showcasing the organization’s values, such as justice and compassion. Lou-Ann shares: “I saw curiosity and enthusiasm from the students. This experience taught me teamwork, sales organization, and customer relations.”
Nada highlighted the collective aspect: “Participating in this event was enriching, both personally and as a team.” Camélia and Thomas both emphasized the warmth and inspiration drawn from this experience, with Thomas adding: “It strengthened my connection with the school.”
A Formative Experience Aligned with ICD Business School’s Values
These projects reflect the values ICD Business School aims to instill: mutual aid, responsibility, and initiative. They allow students to develop essential skills such as project management, communication, and community engagement while contributing to a meaningful cause.
As Thomas expressed: “The time spent on this project was both inspiring and educational, leaving lasting memories and strengthening my ties with the school.” This initiative demonstrates the school’s commitment to providing a well-rounded education that integrates social and human realities into academic learning.
