I Swear

Scotland, 1983. At 15, John’s life is turned upside down with the onset of severe and uncontrollable tics. In a time when Tourette syndrome was poorly understood, John faces exclusion, anxiety, and depression. Inspired by a true story, this uplifting film retraces fifty years of a deeply moving fight for dignity. A powerful work on mental health that shows how empathy and community action can break isolation and change mindsets.
Kirk Jones is a renowned British director. With I Swear, he delivers a committed and deeply human film, placing his cinema at the service of inclusion and mental health.

FAE stands for the Federation of Student Associations of the University of Lausanne. Each faculty has its own student association(s), and these have come together to form a federation in order to defend and represent students at both the university and cantonal levels. The FAE is therefore mainly made up of students serving other students!
As part of the Health Days, the FAE is organizing an event called “Speedfriending”, aimed at encouraging social interaction among students.
