Training young people to change the world

Dear Difteuses and Difteurs, On Friday, June 12, 2026, we held a unique edition of our Enactus Student Launch Day. Featuring passionate and engaging pitches, an exhibition area for emerging projects, and a visit to our partner SAP’s offices, this event brought together more than 90 people united by a single goal: the power of action held by students dedicated to ecological and social transitions. It was the culmination of our support for the Impact Class of 2026, a day celebrating our young people’s desire to work toward a better world and their move toward action. More than 250 students worked with us to develop their solutions, and 20 of them came to present them to our jury of committed professionals. From projects still in development to social initiatives already in action, we wanted to give all student initiatives a chance to shine. Discover the winners of the National Competition, the Village of Initiatives, and our partners’ Calls for Projects on enactus.fr! 🤓

Dear Difterus, The Enactus Student Impact Promo support program is in full swing, and mid-year is marked by the presentation of our Coup de Pouce awards! The aim of these awards is to give impetus to impact project leaders by providing them with concrete financial support to accelerate the development of their project, set up their first actions in the field and amplify their impact. They are awarded by our corporate and foundation sponsors, on a variety of environmental and social themes. To discover this year's 6 themes and 17 winners, visit enactus.fr! 😁

Dear Difteurs and Difteuses, It's been a while! To make up for the absence, we're not coming back with a news item, but with all our news for the year 2024-2025 😏 159 high school classes have signed up with the Enactus Lycéens program - 64% of them vocational high school classes! And on the Enactus Student side, we've supported the emergence of around a hundred positive-impact projects, led by nearly 200 students. And it's partly thanks to you 💛 What themes did the high school students choose to work on this year? Which project won the National Student Competition and represented France at the Enactus World Cup in Bangkok? What's new in our programs for 2026? Find out all this and more in our latest activity report 😎 On behalf of the Enactus France team and committed youth: thank you for your support 🫶

Dear difteurs, Who said "integration weekend"? We're not far from it, but during ours we're laying the foundations of social entrepreneurship, brainstorming from the Sustainable Development Goals, and enabling students to reconnect with their values and drivers to bring forth a positive-impact project that responds to societal issues. What a program! In November, nearly 60 committed students experienced their first seminar of the year in their region, Eclosion, a collective time to connect with their aspirations, to get inspired by social entrepreneurs in their area, and to take action and confront their idea with the needs of beneficiaries! The program in detail? Workshops to discover their strengths and values and bring out a social or environmental issue close to their hearts.Team ideation and project prototyping times.Inspiring talks by alumni and social entrepreneurs.A field immersion challenge to test their social innovations against the expectations of their potential users.Our best tips for pitching like pros.And an Enactus-style atmosphere! (Come to upcoming events to discover it 👀) And in December, students shared their current issues with professionals during a co-development! The collective, an indispensable ingredient for thinking the world differently. In 2025, it goes on and we can't wait to share the students' talents with you! A big thank you to you, dear difteurs, for your precious support and donations ✨

Dear difteurs, According to an impact measurement conducted by Ashoka in 2023, 61% of young people don't believe they have all the capabilities to take action on social and environmental issues. Despite a strong desire to get involved (88%), they are constrained by a number of obstacles: lack of skills, self-confidence, and guidance.  This is why it is all the more necessary today to promote the values of commitment, and help these young people take action! To raise young people's awareness of civic commitment, Enactus has produced a documentary film "Ose Toujours" which highlights 6 young people, who have taken on social and environmental challenges by embarking on social entrepreneurship. More than5,600 young people have already viewed itand discovered inspiring journeys, such as that of Alexandre, who, during his studies, is challenged by food waste in Canada. On his return to France, he decided to tackle the subject and created his first entrepreneurial project Graapz.  It's clear that every player plays a crucial role in activating these young people in search of meaning, and that it's vital to support them! By investing in the development of their skills, together we will build a fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable world! Together, let's ensure that every young person can not only dream of change, but also become anactor of change. A big thank you for your donations and your invaluable support! 

Dear Captains,  On June 7, 52 of the students we support presented their social and environmental solutions to a number of professionals. They pitched their entrepreneurial projects, some of which won initial financial backing. For example, Alex, a student at IAE Lille, presented his Miscanterra project: the production and marketing of insulating panels made from miscanthus, a plant that depollutes, preserves and nourishes soils.There was also Théo and his Lubia project, an automatic hygienic protection dispenser, Chloé who presented La Pulperie, an innovative way of transforming waste into objects and furniture, and the students from Lyon who have designed the dustbin of the future that sorts waste itself.  These students, through the support of Enactus, have delved into a social issue that touches them, that worries them, that upsets them, and have turned it into real projects that are already having a positive impact on the planet or on society!  By supporting us, you are directly supporting these young people and their initiatives. Thank you for that!
