On 28 November 2025, the University of Angers is joining forces with three partner universities of the EU Green European alliance to celebrate World Compassion Day.

By taking part in this day, the alliance reaffirms its commitment to a more supportive future that pays close attention to human issues. Throughout the day, online seminars will be offered, open to students, staff, and the general public, exploring compassion from various perspectives: memory, diversity, and even artificial intelligence.

On this occasion, /Rémy Guyonneau will present the recently certified HATES serious game. The full programme is available online.

This Wednesday, the HATES project officially received the Citoyen Label, awarded during the Rencontres Label Citoyen at the Camp des Milles.

Our colleague /Sami Benkherfallah, the university’s « anti-racism and anti-semitism coordinator » at the University of Angers, represented OSINT4Fun, the University of Angers, and the EUGREEN alliance.

He also took part in the round-table discussion entitled « Resisting the Mechanics of Hatred and Violence ».

Closing chapter for the CTF « CANELÉA » organised for the students of the BUT « Digital Information in Organisations » at /IUT Bordeaux Montaigne.

Congratulations to all of you for your insight and enthusiasm, with a special mention to the two winners 💪.

We warmly thank /Allan Deneuville and /Olivier Le Deuff for placing their trust in us and for the warm (and delicious) welcome in Bordeaux. Many thanks to the Montaigne Resource Centre – CRM, and especially to Aurélie and her team for their involvement.

The CTF was designed by /Céline Girardeau and /Alain Godon. You can find it at this link in a slightly modified version.

Many thanks to the Ponts-de-Cé Media Library for organising this workshop, « Contributing to Wikipedia », led by Sylvain Machefert and Maxime Szczepanski from the University of Angers Library, both contributors to and trainers on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is an essential resource that people immediately think of consulting, but much less often of enriching.

This workshop helped to demystify the idea of contributing and enabled participants to gain a better understanding and get started with editing.
