Foire de l’Etudiant 2017

by | Nov 8, 2017 | bisi LU – bisi's personal views, Featured, Youth

Although Luxembourg has long had a university center, a full-fledged university where one can obtain complete degrees has only existed since 2003. No wonder then that for many people, it has always been understood that one must go abroad to pursue higher education!

Of course, living abroad for a few years is also a life experience, discovering a different culture, and perfecting a foreign language!

More than 30 years ago, CEDIES organized its first fair, offering a chance to discover the offerings of colleges and universities without having to travel abroad.

Such a European/international fair is not only unique in the world, but it is also an incredible opportunity for every visitor! With over 200 booths each year, you have two days to make a well-informed decision about your future!

The 31st Foire de l’Etudiant will take place this year on November 9 and 10, 2017, and will be open continuously from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm on both days. Almost every year, there is a special focus, and this year it is “go digital.”

KNOWING AND BELIEVING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS

At the risk of repeating myself once again: Information is power! And this should have become even clearer to everyone over the past weeks and months, given everything humanity has had to witness and endure. Through my work, I have the opportunity to participate in...

THIS CARTE BLANCHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REFERENDUM!

As always, this is about young people, about information, and in general, about manipulation. A bit like with a referendum. Oops… and now, we’re back to that referendum again. But how is it that, no matter where the discussion takes place, sooner or later, it almost...

THE INTERNET AND FEAR

THE INTERNET AND FEAR

It feels like, as a child, I often heard scary campfire stories late at night—tales from times when 97% of the country didn’t have internet, when not every room had its own television, and when instead of an intelligent phone in every pocket, each household had just...

BACK IN THE DAY, EVERYTHING WAS BETTER

And today’s youth?! – How it used to annoy me in high school when someone said that to me! But how is it possible that today, so many older people have the exact same phrases on the tip of their tongues? As a young person, you build references and a framework in which...
