Entreprise & Prévention and FAGE have launched a Responsibilty charter for students and nightlife. The goal is to prevent risky driving and augment road safety at students evenings. Messages regarding safety and behaviour are best coming from the students themselves claim the partners.

FAGE is the largest federation representing students in France, who will use their resources to disseminate the charter to 600 student councils with the aim of raising respect amongst themselves, to respect the law and be good citizens. Since 2003, E&P have partnered with FAGE to promote a designated driver programme.

In order to earn the label ‘Responsible Student Evening’, the associations must fulfil at least 5 of the ten proposals in the charter, which include:

The promotion of road safety at events;

To inform students of the risks linked to the excessive consumption of alcohol;

To have self breath testing kits available at evenings;

To have a nominated student in charge of road security;

Not to promote happy hours or to sell alcohol too cheaply;

To propose free soft drinks;

The student association should not benefit financially from the profits of the sale of alcohol.
