European Week for Sustainable Development, campuses: all circular!

As part of the European Sustainable Development Week, the Student Life Office (BVE) of the University of Montpellier is launching a committed challenge for the environment! From September 19 to October 10, students and staff, get on your bikes and take part in an initiative that combines health, soft mobility and protection of the planet.

Through this challenge, the BVE and the University of Montpellier wish to encourage the use of cycling as an eco-responsible means of transport, while raising awareness among the university community about the challenges of sustainable mobility, a key theme of the European Sustainable Development Week. Register for free on our partner's application , accumulate the kilometers traveled by bike, and follow your performance in real time!

Each pedal stroke is an action in favor of reducing your carbon footprint, while contributing to a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. The key is a prize to reward the people who have traveled the most kilometers. Beyond the reward, it is about participating in a dynamic fully anchored in health and soft mobility!

Screening: “Why we cycle” & awards ceremony

In collaboration with the ENSCM, the University of Montpellier offers you the screening of the documentary “Why We Cycle” on October 10, accompanied by a meeting with one of the directors.

This film explores the many benefits of cycling in an urban environment, from health benefits to freedom and trust between cyclists and drivers. It also highlights why the Netherlands is one of the most cyclist-friendly countries in the world. The cycling challenge awards ceremony will take place at the end of the screening!

Screening and award ceremony on Thursday, October 10 from 6 p.m., National School of Chemistry of Montpellier, Amphi Mousseron, 240 Av. du Professeur Emile Jeanbrau, Montpellier.
