Secours Populaire at the bedside of students! While precariousness continues to hit young people, the branch of the association in Calvados organize a nice solidarity Christmas meal. A way for students to get together and eat. MCETV explains everything about it!
A meal to bring students together
Because the signed report France 3 hurts and warms the heart at the same time. In fact, according to some studies, one out of two students does not have enough to eat. While the wave of post-covid “ghost students” seems forgotten, precariousness still exists.
To help young people, and allow them to celebrate Christmas, some associations bend over backwards. France 3 Normandy thus tells the story of students from Caen, invited to a lovely meal. The cost ? A symbolic euro. But at this price, they will eat their fill.
Poultry, fish, tuna rillettes or potato gratin: there was something for everyone. Without forgetting the chocolate mousse for dessert. A party menu for isolated students. Something to make you smile before the end of the year celebrations.
When some feel happy and full, others may feel proud. This is undoubtedly the case of Nicolas Champion, departmental secretary of Secours populaire in Calvados. Its solidarity Christmas meal helped a lot of young people.
“We are in the period of green Santa Clauses, he explains to France 3. We distribute parcels to the people welcomed, toys for children. » But toys or lunch boxes don’t sound very “student”. The association has therefore chosen to change the formula.

A Heart-Warming Christmas
“For the students, we said to ourselves that it was not much use to give a ready-made package. What might be nice is create a meal where everyone meets. » So that’s the received idea: young people get together for a little while at the table.
The purpose of the association, “get away from everyday life”. And given the images of France 3, we can think that this solidarity Christmas meal is a success. So we understand why meals for young people in distress are multiplying… which is not reassuring.
” When we live in precariousness, we add misery to misery, thus regrets Nicolas Champion. It’s hard to eat, to dress, to cope with expenses… And suddenly, we don’t dare meet people, we don’t dare go to others. »
The Secours populaire seeks to counter this isolation. And what better than the Christmas period to allow people to be together? But this party remains a parenthesis. Auto the association must act throughout the year to help young people.
” On aid over 400 students in the department throughout the year. » Whereas images of the face of Montbéliard made the buzz this week, precariousness seems to affect all students, from north to south.
