From September 15 to 19, the Welcome Week takes place, a moment especially dedicated to first-year students. Throughout this week, new students can take part in activities that support their integration in this new stage. No registration is required — just join in.

The Welcome Week, organized by the Student Support Office (GAE), is developed within the scope of the Par a Par mentoring program, which helps new students adapt to ESAD and academic life. This guidance is provided by more experienced students, who support newcomers in their first steps of this new stage.

Would you like to be mentored and join the Par a Par Program? By registering, you are assigned a mentor who will accompany you throughout the academic year, regardless of your participation in the Welcome Week.
