At the Digital Campus school in Toulouse, student life is about much more than creative projects, classes, or group assignments.
Thriving as a student also means taking care of your health and maintaining balance every day. With this in mind, the League Against Cancer visited Digital Campus Toulouse to run a workshop on nutrition and health prevention. Set up in the school's entrance hall, the facilitators chatted with students in a friendly atmosphere, sharing simple, accessible tips for building healthy everyday habits.
Throughout the session, the League Against Cancer facilitators took time to engage with Digital Campus Toulouse students around a question that affects many young people: how do you eat a balanced diet as a student, with a packed schedule and often a limited budget?
To address this, they set up a table in the school's entrance hall showcasing easy-to-prepare recipe ideas, along with practical tools and tips for better meal planning. The goal was to show that eating healthily is entirely possible without spending hours in the kitchen or a lot of money. With a few good habits and some organisation, students can easily work balanced meals into their daily routine.
To make the session even more interactive, students also took part in a quiz on nutrition and healthy eating habits. This fun format sparked curiosity, encouraged discussion, and put everyone's knowledge to the test while introducing useful new information for everyday life.
The prize — a gourmet hamper featuring local products, including juice from an orchard on the outskirts of Toulouse and other food items such as pasta — was won by a student who correctly answered the various questions.
Beyond the topic of nutrition, the League Against Cancer also took the opportunity of their visit to Digital Campus Toulouse to address several key public health prevention topics. The facilitators in particular raised awareness among students about the importance of vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which affects both women and men.
Other important subjects were also discussed, including the effects of tobacco and the health risks it poses, as well as the importance of colorectal cancer screening. Students were encouraged to pass this information on to those around them — particularly people over 50 — as a reminder that conversation and prevention play an essential role in the fight against these diseases.
Through initiatives like this, Digital Campus Toulouse reinforces its commitment to student wellbeing — because success at school goes hand in hand with looking after your health every day.
