• Descriptif : Le Club d'Art Ôratoire forme à la prise de parole en public, en insistant aussi bien sur la forme du discours que sur le fond, pour rendre vos auditeurs ébahis par votre aisance à l'oral et par la profondeur de votre argumentation. En partenariat étroit avec la Fédératio n Francophone de Débat (FFD), le Club participe activement à plusieurs de leurs activités, comme la Coupe de France de débat, la formation lycéenne Graine d'Orateur, le Championnat du Monde de débat ou encore le Concours National d'Éloquence. Nous organisons des permanences chaque semaine pour nous entraîner, en variant les thèmes, pouvant aller du débat parlementaire à l'éloquence, en passant par les joutes oratoires. Les exercices que nous faisons, qui mêlent aussi bien philosophie, sujets de société et humour, permettent de progresser dans une ambiance décontractée et didactique. Et surtout n'oubliez pas, on ne naît pas orateur•trice, on le devient !

Aah, the School... its little secrets, its crazy atmosphere, its frenzied clubs, its buildings steeped in history and its annex annex, not to mention its exemplary quality plakette... Yes, it makes you dream, but did you know that none of this would be possible without the BOcal? But then, do you ask yourself with wide open eyes full of youthful candor, who is this BOcal and where is he that I kiss him? Calm your spirits, young hypoconscrit-e, and know that the BOcal is simply the official and certified newspaper of the COF, and that it accompanies all the moments of normal life. You will find everything you need to brighten up your week: news, announcements, blows, crushes, articles and heartbreaks, a few games and above all a good dose of anything.

The BOUM is the club that ensures the sound system for the ENS parties. In K-Fêt as in the gym, from the back-to-school evening to La Nuizette, the BOUMeux are always present to ensure the installation of the equipment and a harmonious tracklist. Always in search of new members (heavy are the amps and long are the evenings), the BOUM organizes introductions to the mix several times during the year. So, if you want to hear a song play in the evening, don't bother asking the DJ, come and learn how to mix it yourself!

What is the film club? Every week, the ciné-club offers film lovers and budding film lovers a chance to watch a film, from the greatest classics to the lesser-known films of talented directors, from the earliest days of silent film to today's young directors. After a brief presentation, the film is screened in 35 mm copy or digital... It is therefore "like in a cinema", in a room specially designed for this purpose, the Dussane room. We invite speakers, directors and many others to discuss with the audience of the film that has been screened.

The film club in a few questions: Who can come? Everyone! Everyone! You don't have to be a student or a normal to enjoy and discuss a film. What are the rates? The ticket price is €4 (€3 for COF members). A 10-seat subscription costs €3 per session (€2 COF). When? When? With some exceptions, screenings take place on Tuesday at 8:30 pm. Where? Where? Screenings are most often held in the Dussane room (the room is well indicated from the entrance hall), at 45 rue d'Ulm. You can get off at the stops Luxembourg (RER B), Cardinal Lemoine (M10) or Place Monge or Censier-Daubenton (M7).

The ENS Food Club brings together cooking enthusiasts, pastry lovers and enthusiastic neophytes of all kinds. You can meet us at the 48 hours of the Arts de l'ENS or at the Gala de la Nuit, where our mission is to fill the stomachs of hungry Normans. But when we feel like it, we also organise brunch, snacks and other buffets - all this of course in a friendly and friendly atmosphere.

No need to know how to cook; all you have to do is be ready to get involved! Join us now with your favourite recipes and your desire for culinary discoveries: you will always be welcome.

And if you are still not sure, subscribe to the mailing list and/or visit the FB page to be kept informed of all events!

It is a dance game to generally rhythmic music, which presents arrows that scroll in rhythm on the screen, arrows that correspond to other arrows on a carpet that you have to press.

• Description: Hack is a COF club that aims to provide everyone with a place to work and meet around technological projects. The main goal of the club is to provide a meeting place for people interested in the philosophy of hackerspaces, free software, the culture of "Do It Yourself" and more generally in new technologies (robotics, computing, electronics,...), their applications and the problems they generate (social, ethical, legal,...). For this purpose, the club holds weekly informal meetings every Wednesday from 7pm in our premises, cellar 33. This time is dedicated to meeting and discussing, both on factual topics such as the progress of a project or its realization and on more general topics such as the problems created by new technologies. Projects are generally carried out outside this schedule. By its nature, hackEns is therefore an interdisciplinary club, where the entire normal community is likely to meet. Some projects already completed: We have organized a conference on digital freedoms as well as several workshops to present topics such as encryption or cryptography, and we plan to organize others. We have also developed several projects such as a lighting system programmable with LEDs that you may have seen at one of the Nuits de la rue d'Ulm or at K-Fêt parties, the construction of a 3D printer and a drone, a power consumption sensor, a telepresence robot... See you soon with your crazy project ideas! (and if you don't have one, some project ideas are available[here] (http://hackens.org/hackens/idees)).

• Description: The purpose of the FilmClub is to bring together motivated people to form a filmmaking community. It is the perfect place to share artistic talents, whether they concern audio, video, image, writing, visual arts, animation, special effects, or audiovisual installations, in order to launch, together, into independent film projects. These projects are aimed at both experts and lay people. Indeed, at the beginning of the year we organize introductory sessions on assembly, camera handling and lighting, which will take place a priori during intensive monthly weekends.

• Description: The music club is above all a rehearsal room available from 8am to 11pm every day, which is located to the right of the entrance to the gym. It contains all the equipment necessary for amplification as well as a drum kit. Many groups share the room and it can be difficult to find a niche that we like, but we always manage to work it out. That's what the mailing list is for: to make sure that no time is lost if the bands are absent! If you're on your own and you're looking to form a band, you may also find people to play with on this list. Be careful, you have to pay an additional fee to access the room, on top of the COF fee.

• Description : The Oenology Club is a joint club of the ENS and the Ecole des Chartes. It meets on Wednesday evenings in the Club room at the ENS. It brings together long-time passionate wine lovers, novices eager to learn tasting techniques, or simply curious people passing through who are a little interested in wine, come to the club to have a good time and drink some nice bottles!

The sessions are traditionally led by a producer who comes to present his region, his estate and his work. All the great French wine regions are honoured (Champagne, Bordeaux, Alsace, Rhône, Burgundy, Loire, Languedoc-Roussillon), but the Club does not hesitate to introduce wines from lesser-known regions or from abroad (Italy, Spain, United States, Australia, etc.). It is also a unique opportunity to taste the greatest wines in the world: there are so many great estates that have come to the Club in recent years, the list would be too long!

Finally, each session closes with a convivial buffet of cold meats, cheeses and pastries. This is the opportunity to taste all the wines again, to share a good time around good products and to exchange with all the participants around our common passion, oenology!

• Description: Rôl'ENS is made up of a few dozen amateurs of all kinds of tabletop role-playing games. You can be sure to find among us enthusiastic people to help you hunt dragons and other evil creatures (or angels, because after all, taking sides with the good guys is all right for five minutes). Unlike most other clubs, we don't hold weekly meetings - which makes sense, as the JdR is more than six, it quickly becomes unmanageable. As a result, most of our activity consists of a mailing-list (sorry: mailing list), which MJs and players use to organize initiation parties and long campaigns. Don't hesitate to subscribe to it if you want to know about these parties!

• Descriptif : L’impro, c’est l’art de construire une histoire de plusieurs minutes avec juste un thème et 20 secondes de réflexion. C’est aussi des spectacles où peuvent s’enchaîner un western, une comédie romantique et une tragédie grecque. Ou autre chose, car c’est là la magie de l’impro, c’est que tout se crée sous les yeux émerveillés d’un public conquis. Et pour le plus grand bonheur de celui-ci, les N’Improtequoi organisent un spectacle à l’École au moins une fois par mois, sans compter ceux à l’extérieur.
  Alors, viens nous voir, et si un jour l’envie te prend de monter sur scène, contacte-nous pour assister aux cours (et oui, improviser, ça s’apprend et se travaille) !
