“This year, the Franc’off was in a slightly different formula” , immediately recalls the co-director of the Francos, Charles Gardier. Indeed, following the selections that took place in Huy, it was a final that took place the first three days in Spa with the last three groups in contention. “But from the selections in Huy, we really had an average level of quality which has never been so high. The artists took advantage of the confinement to work and prepare well.” To decide between these musicians, a jury was formed with in particular Marka and the actor Jean-Luc Couchard who accompanied Hugues Debatty and his entire team. “We deliberated following seeing the three groups explains Marka. One day is not the other, so some played in the rain, others in the sun. We even had a toilet emptying truck that passed by! Some have complained regarding it, but I find it great because the stage job is full of accidents. Truce of suspense: it is Bérode who is the winner of this edition of Fran’off. Behind this brand new project, we find Quentin Maquet, a 35-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Liège and thinking head of the Dalton Telegramme group. He is ahead of Lou K, second, and Major Dubreucq, third. As for Bérode, he therefore had the opportunity to play a second time this Saturday. And it will be on the bill once more at the Francos de Spa next year.

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Ahmed Al Dalal President of the American University in Cairo.

space to “blow”
Hania El Shalkami, a professor at the Center for Social Research at the American University in Cairo, is one of the team whose tasks include making recommendations on how to establish a system of psychological services and respond to stress at the university. In a telephone conversation with Al-Fanar Media, she says that the change that we have witnessed in our public life, in recent years, has increased the area of psychological stress, and we have become more vulnerable to accidents and diseases as a result of pressure, explaining that the “heavy” exposure to social networking sites and the public space has left great effects. On our psyche, regardless of social or physical background.
At the beginning of this month, Al-Shalkami led a workshop inside the university, to survey the views of the participants, professors and students, on providing a platform for the university community, aimed at exchanging experiences and ideas to improve mental health inside and outside the university campus. She adds that the psychological burden has become a collective issue, affecting both students and professors.
She also points to the emergence of new symptoms of these psychological burdens, such as sharpness, anxiety, and distraction due to daily pressures, stressing that the university realized that ignoring this matter would make the consequences “very difficult”, and would reflect on academic performance, and might turn into a mental illness, as she put it. .
The Egyptian Academy suggests that there be an online platform for university students to share their personal problems and get advice as well, as well as consider it as a space to “reveal.”
The initiative is scheduled to work on three axes: changing the university’s culture on mental health, through campaigns to destigmatize mental illness, raising awareness and programs, increasing the level of mental health services at the university, improving its policies and protocols, and providing training on mental health.
Al-Shalkami says that the campaign should be multi-element in its psychological, sports, sexual and emotional dimensions, so that these elements share a vision and one goal regarding awareness of the nature of mental health, and the privacy associated with it, the confidentiality of mental health information, and the waiting time until obtaining On services, and the stigma associated with mental illness inside and outside the lecture hall. It also explains that the campaign is an attempt to create an environment conducive to mental health at the university, and to make an “important shift” in dealing with psychological stress from being “individual” cases to designing a good mental health environment that meets the needs of everyone with the aim of protection and prevention.
