Throughout the school curriculum the LFO implements initiatives in citizenship, health and environmental education.
The CESCE is a body for reflection, observation, and vigilance that conceives, implements, and evaluates actions in the areas of prevention and education in citizenship, health, and environmental issues. This comprehensive and unifying approach aims to provide greater coherence and visibility to the educational policy of the institution and also fosters partnerships based on the issues addressed (nature of the institution, target audience, environment, etc.).
The CESCE is thus the privileged body for the implementation of programs on the following educational themes:
Education for Well-being
Education for Safety
Environmental Education
Citizenship Education
Lastly, CESCE’s actions are part of an overall strategy to open up the Norwegian territory, and it works on a daily basis with local partners:

The security program at the French School René Cassin in Oslo includes various training sessions aimed at ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Students participate in practical exercises such as drills for attacks and fires, as well as confinement simulations. They also receive Road Safety Training (ASSR1 in 5th grade and ASSR2 in 3rd grade).
First aid and life-saving gestures training (PCS1 and GQS) are also provided by the school nurse throughout the student’s education at the LFO, from kindergarten to the 10th grade.
Education on emotions, relationships and sexuality, known by its French acronym EVARS, is a compulsory part of the curriculum for lower and upper secondary school students.
It aims to help young people understand themselves and their bodies, and navigate the different stages of their development with confidence. EVARS also teaches students how to build relationships based on respect, equality and dignity. Topics include emotions, relationships with others, consent, sexuality and staying safe. The programme helps prevent gender-based and sexual violence, bullying and discrimination.
At the Lycée Français d’Oslo, sessions are jointly led by two members of the EVARS team to provide a supportive, safe and age-appropriate setting for discussion.
Drawing on its extensive experience in delivering these sessions and the diverse backgrounds of its facilitators, the Lycée Français d’Oslo plays a leading role in developing EVARS across the Northern Europe school network (ZENOS).
Year after year, our students praise the quality and variety of the sessions and value the opportunity to discuss these topics together in a safe and supportive environment.
