Identify yourself at the Carnival

“After the integration day and the cultural festival, we wanted to organize a third important event for students from Nice. We therefore set up this free concert which mixes with the carnival parade, in order to allow students from all over France to identify with the carnival, "explains Amaury Baudoux, president of the Federation of student associations and corporations Alpes-Maritimes (Face 06).

Message received 5 out of 5 by Luna, Marie, Zoé and Anna. Originally from Ajaccio, Montpellier, Troyes and Aix-en-Provence, the four undergraduate students in psycho or philosophy (or both at the same time) in Carlone disguised themselves in blocks of Tetris. “There are few equivalents of the Nice Carnival in France.

Trivial Pursuit of Sex

A few meters further, the Face 06 prevention center took advantage of the event to test a prototype of "Trivial Pursuit of Sex", inspired by the "Small manual of Sex Education", a guide produced by Charlotte Abramow to accompany the outing from season 2 of the Netflix series. The players had to roll the dice, move their "penis" token on the corresponding box in order to fall on categories like "consent", "pleasure", "STDs and STIs" and answer the associated questions.

“The goal on the fun side is to play down sexual prevention. Hoods that crack, it happens. Young people must be given the keys to get out of complex situations, ”explain Eloïse Da Cunha and Charlotte Lopez, co-managers of the prevention division.

Volunteers also took the opportunity to promote awareness of “reliable” structures or resource people. If an “STI” question fails, players should, for example, return to the box in the Free Information, Screening and Diagnosis Center (CeGIDD).

On the occasion of the “big cultural mess” in March, the prevention center will set up a full-size version of its game on which the participants will be able to move. An additional way to combine business with pleasure.
