In 2027, Course contre la Faim, organized by the French charity Action contre la Faim, will mark 30 years of mobilizing students to address global hunger. For three decades, this event has brought together millions of students to learn about hunger challenges and take action. For the 30th anniversary, the goal is ambitious: to register 300,000 students and raise 3 million euros. Course contre la Faim is a free, educational initiative designed to be easily integrated into schools, based on three key principles: raising awareness, taking action, and making a commitment. Before the race, participating classes attend an awareness session organized by Action contre la Faim, tailored to each school’s level. This session is a crucial part of the event, helping students understand the causes and consequences of hunger. In 2027, the funds collected will support Action contre la Faim’s programs in Nigeria, where millions face food insecurity, especially in areas affected by conflict and displacement. This connection gives students a clear sense of purpose, showing them exactly where their efforts are making a difference. On the day of the race, students run at their own pace for a duration set by their school. The event is inclusive, without stopwatches or rankings, celebrating both individual and collective effort. Students seek sponsors—family, friends, neighbors, or local businesses—who pledge donations per lap. The process is straightforward and motivating: each student’s effort translates into real help, making them active participants in the project. Course contre la Faim is completely free for schools, with Action contre la Faim providing all necessary materials and support. The event is designed to be flexible, quick to set up, and aligned with school curricula and civic education. Every year, around 1,200 schools across France and 250,000 students from primary to secondary levels take part in this unifying initiative. By joining the 2027 edition, teachers and staff give their students a meaningful experience, showing that solidarity is learned, lived, and shared.
