Cop1 celebrates Christmas by and for students!
Dear difteurs,
To reinforce its action with students during the holiday season, Cop1 volunteers hold stands at the various Christmas markets organized in the association's cities of intervention; in order to raise awareness and solicit support from the general public.
Through this action, gifts are distributed throughout December to students in need, in the spirit of an advent calendar!
If you too would like to support students at the end of the year, don't hesitate!
A big thank you to you, dear difteurs, for your invaluable support and donations ✨

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!
