On Friday 5 September, the UFR des Sciences Médicales et de la Santé officially launched the new academic year with an original and warm initiative: the «Tanbou Pou Swè».
The start of the 2025 academic year at the UFR des Sciences Médicales et de la Santé was marked by energy, conviviality and solidarity. At 8am, nearly a hundred students from the first three years of the medical course gathered on the forecourt of the M building, near the university library.
On the programme: a sporty dance session, carried along by the lively rhythm of the drums. It was much more than just a physical activity. It turned into a real time of sharing and good humour. The students were able to combine effort, cohesion and cultural discovery, while building their stamina and team spirit.
This initiative fully illustrates the commitments of the 2025 Contract of Objectives and Means. The latter places the success and well-being of students at the heart of its actions. In a discipline as demanding as medicine, mutual support and collaboration are essential values. The «Tanbou Pou Swè», with its festive and unifying atmosphere, has established itself as a strong symbol of solidarity and openness.
The morning ended with a convivial snack. This relaxed moment allowed the different classes to exchange ideas and forge new links. The smiles, laughter and enthusiasm were evidence of a real sense of belonging. The participants expressed their desire to continue this collective dynamic throughout the academic year.
With this first federative event, the UFR des Sciences Médicales et de la Santé confirms its ambition. It's not just about supporting students in their academic success. It also wants to encourage their personal and collective development. This vibrant start to the new academic year, full of energy and promise, marks the beginning of a university year dedicated to success and solidarity.
