Student association on the Paris Campus

Baz’art

What if the campus art scene came to life right before your eyes? Founded in 2025, Baz’art, the arts association in Paris, currently brings together a dozen members around a clear goal: to promote fashion and music at GEM Paris. The organization structures its projects around two pillars: an annual fashion show, featuring pieces made from recycled fabrics, and a quarterly magazine conceived and produced from start to finish by the students. In addition, there are regular musical activities, including weekly rehearsals and performances at events. This is an organization still in the making, one that also leaves room for new artistic initiatives.

GEM Bien Parler

Persuading, improvising, speaking in public: what if it all started here? GEM Bien Parler brings together students and recent graduates eager to improve their public speaking skills in an environment accessible to all skill levels. With 15 to 20 members and 10 to 15 events per year, the association is organized around two complementary areas: public speaking and improvisational theater. Weekly classes led by a professional, matches against other university troupes, participation in national competitions, and the organization of The Ring Intergénérationnel festival set the pace for the year. What sets us apart: helping everyone grow in the art of public speaking while fostering a particularly friendly and supportive team spirit.

GEM in debate, Paris campus

Keeping the debate alive, even from a distance: that is the very purpose of the Paris chapter of GEM en Débat (GED). As a true extension of GEM en Débat, it brings to life a program on the Paris campus that remains true to the association’s DNA. Lectures, roundtables, public speaking contests: these signature formats are recreated locally, while remaining coordinated with the Grenoble team. This collaboration ensures editorial and organizational continuity between the two campuses. What sets it apart? It combines on-site operational autonomy with remote strategic oversight, enabling students on the Paris campus to fully take ownership of these spaces for discussion and reflection.

• Year founded: 2025

SOS, pôle Paris

What if your commitment could make a real difference, both here and on the other side of the world? The Paris chapter of Savoir Oser la Solidarité (SOS) brings together more than 30 students on the Paris campus to work on community service projects in the field. In Pantin, volunteers work with children struggling in school every week through a personalized tutoring program. Internationally, the organization operates in San Ramón, Costa Rica, where it offers French and English classes while helping to build affordable housing. What sets it apart is its approach of combining educational initiatives with community support within a single framework of solidarity, sharing, and commitment.

Behind every memorable moment is a collective effort that fosters a unifying spirit. As a cornerstone of student life, the Parisian Student concil (BDE) sets the tone on the Paris campus. In addition to serving as an incubator for student groups (if you have project ideas you’d like to test out, join us!), it energizes daily life, coordinates major events, and acts as a bridge between students, the administration, and student associations. Its mission? To foster a campus spirit where everyone can find their place, get involved, and contribute to a shared sense of energy. Whether it’s conferences, events, or cross-departmental projects, the BDE provides structure and momentum while giving everyone the opportunity to get involved in campus life in their own way.
