UBO Cultural Service: Projects and Cultural Activities

At the University of Western Brittany, a passionate team is redefining the university experience. Led by Hélène Lemounaud and Ninon Gougay, this organization offers vibrant performances, creative workshops, and unique opportunities to explore art in all its forms.

Located in the heart of the Armen university restaurant in Brest, this initiative transforms the daily lives of young people. Brest and Morlaix students benefit from privileged access to local events, with prices tailored to their budget.

Did you know that each season brings its share of surprises? Between artist residencies and unexpected collaborations, the program cultivates curiosity. These projects do not just entertain: they weave connections between academic disciplines and artistic practices.

“A fulfilling social life is an asset for succeeding in studies,” the organizers remind us. That’s why activities extend throughout the year, offering a valuable balance between classes and discoveries.

From contemporary dance to interactive exhibitions, each initiative aims to shape engaged citizens. This dynamic fits into a broader vision: to make the university a place where emotion meets knowledge.

Introduction to the UBO Cultural Service

Since its inception, this university structure has established itself in the Brest landscape as a catalyst for artistic encounters. Its evolution reflects a clear ambition: to make culture accessible while stimulating the creativity of young people.

Strong roots, clear vision

Born from a desire to break down disciplinary barriers, the project has gradually enriched itself. Today, it offers a unique balance between personalized support and collective discoveries. Each action aims to transform campuses into true laboratories of creative expressions.

A driving duo for ambitious projects

Hélène Lemounaud and Ninon Gougay lead this adventure with contagious energy. Their secret? A carefully built network of local partners and constant listening to student expectations. Their open office at Armen regularly becomes a space for creative brainstorming.

This year, thirty young people benefit from a special status to develop their talents. From urban dance workshops to writing residencies, the offerings are constantly adapting. The preferential rates negotiated with Brest venues make these experiences accessible to all.

A new challenge is on the horizon with the expansion of activities to Morlaix. This territorial dynamic strengthens exchanges between students while highlighting the cultural specificities of each university site.
