Far from a monolithic vision of déconnection, this round table, followed by a discussion, explores the benefit of plural déconnections – rest away from the énotches in the strategies of management and self-regulation – in order to find a better way of life as a student, but not only : anyone interested is welcome!

A digitally inspired round table will then give everyone the opportunity to ask questions about the theme and, through the discussion, to make links with their day-to-day lives as students·e.

As our society moves towards an all-digital world, it is vital not to forget the ecological transition. Digital technology requires resources and energy that are not infinite in our planetary resources. The academic world is also continuing its digital development, so let's stop for a few moments to take stock of the situation, understand and question our use of digital technology in the context of studies.

Proposed by and for students, this workshop will bring together speakers from the academic and business worlds.

The first part is intended to raise awareness of the issues relating to the impact of the use of digital technology on the environment throughout one's studies.

A round table discussion on digital inspiration will then give everyone the opportunity to ask questions on the topic and make links with their daily lives as students.
