Federation of Higher Education Institutions of Collective Interest, France

FESIC information campaign for the recognition of student caregivers

FESIC (Federation of Higher Education Institutions of Collective Interest) created and proposed to the 28 Schools of the Federation to relay a communication campaign and a survey on the occasion of the National Caregivers Day on Thursday, October 6, 2022.

The objective was to take advantage of this National Day to raise the subject in a collective manner and to allow the students concerned to recognize themselves as young caregivers and, if necessary, to seek help in the Schools and from outside structures.

Top 3 Learnings

1. Students carers are invisible and we need to talk about them.
2. 14% of students combine studying and taking care a relative.
3. Students Carers just want consideration, have a listen, and not to be stigmatized.
