Youth Forum
Giving a voice to young people involved in agricultural training
SPOTLIGHT ON YOUNG PEOPLE AT SPACE
The Espace Jeunes aims to give a voice to young people involved in agricultural training and to contribute to the renewal of generations in the agricultural world.
Set up for the first time in 2022, it brings together hundreds of students every year to promote livestock farming training and careers.
The Youth forum is a joint project with the agricultural education networks (CNEAP, public and MFR) and higher education establishments: Institut Agro Rennes-Angers (ex-Agro Campus) and Ecole Supérieure des Agricultures d'Angers (ESA).
A new concept to reach a new audience
During previous editions, a number of students taking part in the debates expressed their concern about the sometimes negative perception of agriculture by the general public, and deplored the repercussions it can have on the image of agricultural careers and the training courses leading to them. In response, A new concept was introduced for 2025 Youth Forum: young people in agricultural training showcased their future careers to students from general education.
Two events have been organised during SPACE. Middle and high school students from the Rennes area came to meet students from the CNEAP, MFRs and public education, as well as the Institut Agro Rennes-Angers, the Ecole Supérieure des Agricultures d'Angers and the Oniris veterinary school.
The objective? To help them discover agriculture and the diversity of jobs in the sector, the wide range of training courses available (from vocational diplomas to engineering degrees),
The future actors of the animal farming sector and the digital
Once again, engineering students from the Institut Agro Rennes-Angers and the Ecole Supérieure des Agricultures d'Angers gave their views on the subject of Espace for The Future.
Accompanied by teacher-researchers, they debated digital technology and AI.
