Solution
Setting up solidarity by and for students!
The aid deployed by Cop1 aims to encourage the student public in precarious situations to seek help, while providing knowledge about their needs. To achieve this, Cop1 has set up a peer support system, free of charge and with no means-testing, to make its actions accessible to all and friendly. More than just food aid, every Cop1 action is designed to bring students together, thereby combating the isolation of young people.

Discover Fest1: cooking workshops by and for students
To complement the help provided by food distributions, Cop1 is rolling out Fest1s in all the towns in which the association is present.
The aim of these cooking workshops is to bring together students receiving food aid around a full dinner with the aim of (re)acquiring a taste for cooking, learning thrifty techniques and healthy recipes, all while sharing a convivial moment.
Using the products on offer at the same week's distributions, the students are tasked with working together to prepare a starter, main course and dessert, and then to cook and, of course, eat it. In this way, students who have benefited from the food distributions obtain and share their culinary knowledge or recipe ideas, and improve their diet together.
At present, Cop1 plans to bring in student cooks to supervise these workshops, while training for their future profession!

Why we love it?
Cop1 is the epitome of solidarity, and we love it! All over France, committed young people and volunteers come together to help those in need.
Joining Cop1 is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. With all the different student profiles, I feel a lot less alone in my situation and I feel really useful!
