A conference to launch the 3rd edition of the certificate in support for people in highly precarious situations
Over-indebtedness, addiction, homelessness, lack of access to rights, begging... Professionals in the health, education and social action sectors are directly confronted with social inequalities and precariousness. Their commitment requires them to work in an interdisciplinary way, to take a reflective look at their practices and to use relevant theoretical models. In response to this need, UNamur, HENALLUX, HEPN and UCLouvain, in collaboration with Formanam and Resinam, are organising a Certificate in Supporting Extreme Precariousness. A discussion with Christine Mahy, General Secretary of the Walloon Anti-Poverty Network (RWLP), was held to open up the debate on some of the key issues that will be addressed during this continuing education course.

Common thread
Since 2022, the Faculty of Law has chosen an annual theme that brings together the entire faculty—students and faculty alike—across all tracks and programs. This overarching theme is incorporated into courses, tutorials, assignments, public speaking competitions, lectures, and educational and cultural activities offered throughout the academic year. This inspiring and values-driven dynamic continues to make the educational environment at the University of Namur even more unique. Thus, in 2022–2023, we focused on CHILDHOOD & MIGRATION; in 2023–2024, on HARASSMENT in all its forms; and in 2024–2025, on INCLUSION, with the goal of enabling everyone to find their place in society regardless of race, gender, social class, generation, ability, romantic and/or sexual preferences, and so on. Throughout the year, we raised awareness about racism, LGBTQIA+ issues, people with disabilities, the elderly and very young, fatphobia, and more.

"Pop-Code, a podcast for digital education
The evocative power of cinema helps us better understand modern digital issues. This is what Benoît Vanderose and Anthony Simonofski, professors at the University of Namur in the Faculty of Computer Science and Management Science, wish to highlight through their "Pop-Code" podcast. The authors explore the use of Pop-Culture for digital education, while examining its challenges and limits. With almost 10 episodes, "Pop-Code" has just celebrated its first anniversary, and the authors are already setting high ambitions for the coming months.
