Who are we?

L’AFGES est la fédération des étudiant-e-s d’Alsace. Fondée en 1923, elle a développé, à travers ses 102 ans d’histoire au service de la jeunesse alsacienne, quantité de services aux étudiant-e-s :

• • La restauration étudiante, qu’elle a créée à Strasbourg en 1927, au sein du Restaurant universitaire « la Gallia », qu’elle a géré jusqu’à 2015. Aujourd’hui « la Gallia » est un établissement du CROUS de Strasbourg,

• • University sports, with the creation of the Strasbourg Etudiant Club in 1925,

• • Health care for students (health service, sanatorium, mutual insurance, etc.).
