Finale de l'Eloquence du bégaiement 2022
Rendez-vous au Théâtre Bobino le 23 novembre prochain ! Depuis maintenant 4 ans, Mounah Bizri (GE 17) organise un concours d'éloquence pour personnes qui bégaient. Ce concours a pour objectif de donner espoir aux personnes qui bégaient et à toutes les personnes différentes, en montrant que nos rêves ne sont jamais loin. Dès lors qu'on ose sortir de sa zone de confort et montrer sa vulnérabilité, tout semble possible. 6 orateurs bègues seront devant vous, pour gravir leur Everest à eux. Ils vont se prouver à eux-mêmes que leurs différences est leur atout de communication, pour réussir à mieux vivre au quotidien ce bégaiement qu'ils n'ont pas choisi d'avoir, mais qu'ils essaient d'aimer un peu plus. Par leurs actes, ils souhaitent inspirer les 12 millions de personnes en situation de handicap en France. Ils souhaitent également inspirer les 66 millions de français pour montrer la voix de l'amour de soi et de la richesse de la différence. Cet événement est la finale du programme de Formation Eloquence du Bégaiement organisé par l'association Eloquence de la Différence, avec le soutien de Dauphine Solidarité Handicap, L'Université Paris-Dauphine, l'Association Parole-Bégaiement, la Fondation Engagement Médias pour les Jeunes et Microsoft.

En 2021, la finale du programme Parisien Eloquence du Bégaiement, a accueilli 900 personnes, en faisant ainsi le plus grand rassemblement autour du handicap en France.

Go Netherlands! I like to use dutchnews.nl to know what’s going on in “my” country
Audencia's Career Center and Alumni teams are delighted to to bring you “Go Netherlands!”, the guide to working in the Netherlands. Following the success of the guide to working in France for internationals, this new edition focuses on a country that is a destination of choice for Audencians. Members of its thriving community of students and alumni say they choose the Netherlands for its economic stability, work-hard-play-hard lifestyle, multiculturalism and for being a country where English is often the working language. “Go Netherlands!” is a valuable resource for students considering a career in the Netherlands after their studies. Starting with HR professionals’ top tips and debunking the myths and realities of the workplace, Go Netherlands! also showcases the experiences of more than 20 alumni who have aced the challenge of finding a job and settling in the Netherlands. This week, discover what Enzo Martin from Francehas to say. About Enzo: Graduated from the Grande Ecole Master in Management programme in 2020 Currently working as: Junior Affiliate Manager at Degiro in Amsterdam Native language: French Other languages spoken: English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Dutch Level of Dutch: intermediate Been living in the Netherlands: since November 2020 Enzo's key message: “I like to use dutchnews.nl to know what’s going on in “my” country." My biggest challenge I’m an affiliate manager at Degiro, an online stockbroker that has grown to be one of the largest retail stockbrokers in Europe. The company’s rapid growth has given me a huge challenge and great rewards; I get to experience the perfect mix between a start-up and a very large company. My advice & top tips Get in touch with and meet some VIEs via Facebook groups and WhatsApp. They will probably be in the same frame of mind as you so it’s the best way to have some people to party and/or travel with. Quirky & cultural I’ve discovered that a working day in the Netherlands starts early but finishes early too. This means that there’s not really an official lunch break. There are lots of company perks available, such as gifts, bonuses, free public transport, gym discounts, etc. The Dutch are very nice but also very direct; if they have something to tell you, they will clearly say it. And finally Make sure you get to the seaside town of Zandvoort to see a sunset. Failing that, there’s a Formula 1 racetrack at Zandvoort too! Read your copy of "Go Netherlands" here

Go France! Don’t be scared to immerse yourself in the local culture
Audencia's Career Center and Alumni teams are delighted to to bring you “Go France!”, the guide to working in France. Following the success of the first guide in 2019, this new updated edition revisits advice from HR professionals, input from intercultural experts and shares yet more experiences of working in France for internationals. Alumni say they choose France for its corporate culture and impact-driven working environment but also for its croissants! “Go France!” is a valuable resource for students staying in France after their studies at Audencia. This week, discover what Yesha Oza from India has to say. About Yesha: GRADUATED FROM THE MSC IM PROGRAMME IN 2020 FROM INDIA CURRENT POSITION FINANCE ANALYST AT GE HEALTHCARE IN PARIS NATIVE LANGUAGE GUJARATI AND ENGLISH DAILY WORKING LANGUAGES ENGLISH OTHER LANGUAGES SPOKEN FRENCH FRENCH LEVEL BEGINNER (A1/A2) LIVING IN FRANCE SINCE 2018 Yesha's key message: “Don’t be scared to immerse yourself in the local culture." My biggest challenge Finding accommodation in major cities like Paris can be challenging and a little tricky without having all the paperwork and a French guarantor. Myths & realities MYTH Not being fully aware about tax and social security and how it affects your gross income. REALITY French networking and socialising might surprise you in the beginning, but it is very normal to spend an hour having breakfast or a coffee with your colleagues. My advice & top tips Assess your interests and passions against your career goals. If needed, seek advice from Audencia’s Career Center and then start planning early. As they say, ‘The early bird catches the worm’. Don’t wait until the last semester to look for an internship or job. Quirky & cultural The French emphasis on taking vacation days and maintaining a work-life balance. Taking frequent breaks and planning vacation days well in advance; being uncontactable on vacation … pretty normal in France. And finally As the working language at my office is English, I get very little opportunity to talk in French. I am continuing to improve my French by reading French newspapers and watching French TV.
