The first Digital Campus school was created to meet the demands of the digital market. It was essential, however, to build a school on strong values that foster connection and meaning: eco-responsibility, digital empowerment, social inclusion, and solidarity have guided all the actions of every school in the network for 8 years now. Digital Campus Bordeaux: the trailblazer of the Responsible Digital label. It was only natural that Bordeaux, the birthplace of Digital Campus, would become the home of this commitment to responsible practices.
Particularly since the last academic year, the network-wide focus has been placed on solidarity.
Whether through the partnership with Wanted Community, various collections, skills donations, outreach activities, or educational projects, all students and staff have invested themselves in solidarity causes. All of these actions have been recognised as Responsible Digital. But concretely, what does that mean?

What is more commonly known as the Responsible Digital Label refers to committed, human actions of a responsible and digital nature carried out by members of Digital Campus (students, alumni, and teaching staff).

Being Responsible Digital is not limited to sorting your emails and favouring the use of recycled products. It encompasses both the dynamic of a campus (selective sorting with Elise Atlantique, plastic-free campus, partnerships with associations supporting the inclusion of people with disabilities such as Entr'Autres and Les Détritivores) and the commitment of a school that supports, through its teaching, projects, and events, the new generations who will contribute to building the (digital) world of tomorrow.

Making a difference through action is the purpose of this Label. That is why Digital Campus Bordeaux organised its first solidarity week (from 13 to 17 May 2019), bringing together collections, a round table on the theme of Digital and Solidarity, and a Solidarity Hackathon. Emblematic figures of the solidarity movement in the region took part in this week, sharing their commitment and vision of solidarity in the digital age.

For the first time, the school also organised a Solidarity Hackathon where first and second-year Master's students joined forces to help 9 solidarity associations in the region. 100 students divided into 9 working groups who, in 72 hours, worked tirelessly to provide concrete solutions and tools enabling these associations to grow and, in some cases, simply to continue their activities.

Website creation, social media strategy, print materials, graphic identity overhaul — students brought a new lease of life to these associations through their skills. These meaningful encounters even led students to remain involved beyond the Hackathon, following up on projects, creating visuals, or simply taking part in activities such as community meals or outreach events organised in the city.

An experience that demonstrated that being Responsible Digital means contributing to the maintenance of a truly virtuous cycle.
