OSE

Civic and Community Engagement

With our programme OSE (Outils et Services pour l’Engagement Citoyen/Tools and Services for Civiv Engagement), we make societal engagement accessible to all by providing opportunities to discover various fields of civic engagement.

Every day, many ULB students, members of staff, academics and alumni give their energy and time to serve the community. Through their creativity and enthusiasm, they bring civiv engagement to life, on campus and beyond.

The OSE programme was created to support their engagement and help it grow. Through a range of tools and services aimed at the whole community, we want to encourage as many people as possible to become involved citizens, and make it easier for them to get involved.

To achieve this, we are developing training in civic engagement, supporting social commitment initiatives, and encouraging and promoting existing solidarity projects.

our mission and goal

  • Encourage members of the community to become active citizens and agents of solidarity by providing them with training and support, and by encouraging and promoting their civic actions.
  • Guide student civic engagement by facilitating the meeting of supply and demand and by supporting student-led projects
