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.
