Events for the Works Council and Social and Economic Committee: Our Original Ideas

Organizing a memorable event for employees is one of the main responsibilities of a Social and Economic Committee (CSE). Whether it’s an end-of-year party, a Christmas party, an open house, or a seminar, finding the right activities for the works council and CSEis essential.

If you're looking for creative ways to bring your teams together, Anim and You offers turnkey solutions. We set up our event booths directly at your location, primarily in the Hauts-de-France (Lille, Amiens, Arras) and in Île-de-France (Paris and the surrounding area).

Why organize an event for your works council?

The role of the CSE (formerly the works council) or CE goes far beyond financial benefits. Organizing social events serves several strategic objectives for the company.

Strengthening Team Cohesion

A successful event creates a space for informal interaction. Employees from different departments meet, chat around a food booth, and build relationships. It’s an excellent team-building tool that improves the overall atmosphere in the office.

Rewarding and Recognizing Employees

Organizing a unique activity shows employees that the company and the CSE care about their well-being. It’s a tangible way to thank them for their dedication throughout the year.

Suitable for all budgets

The advantage of our event booths is their flexibility. Whether you have a small budget for a special coffee break or a larger budget for a big corporate party, our activities can be tailored to your financial constraints.

Our Best Ideas for CSE Events: Stands Dedicated Entirely to Food

Here is our selection of fun culinary activities to make your employee association event a real success.

The Smoothie Bike Event

This is our flagship concept and the most original activity for your CSE!

The Fun Concept The idea is simple: the employee gets on an exercise bike equipped with a blender. By pedaling for a few seconds, they blend fresh fruit themselves to create their own drink.

A Healthy and Eco-Friendly Activity This activity requires no electricity. It promotes physical activity while offering a refreshing and 100% natural break.

Recipes with Fresh Fruit We never use frozen fruit. Participants choose from a variety of recipes made with fresh, seasonal fruit for an unparalleled taste.

The Smoothie Bar Event

Fast and seamless service Our host prepares drinks on the spot using professional blenders, ensuring very fast service to avoid long lines.

A colorful and eye-catching booth The bar is decorated with baskets of fresh fruit, creating a striking visual focal point in your reception area.

Customized Menus We offer a varied menu (detox, energy, sweet treats) to satisfy all your employees’ cravings.

The Crepe Activity

The timeless classic for corporate snack breaks.

Ready in a flash The crêpe batter is spread and cooked on our professional biligs right in front of your teams, ensuring absolute freshness.

A wide selection of toppings Sugar, jam, chocolate, salted butter caramel… Each employee customizes their crêpe to suit their taste.

A Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere Above All The crêpe stand is a true gathering place where people take the time to chat while the crêpes are cooking.

The Waffle Animation

The perfect choice for winter days or end-of-year events.

An irresistible aroma The aroma of the waffle batter cooking naturally draws all the employees to the booth.

Thick, fluffy waffles We make authentic, artisanal waffles that are crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside.

Generous toppings Just like with our crepes, we offer a variety of delicious toppings to go with each waffle.

Soft-Serve Ice Cream Demonstration

The perfect refreshing idea for your summer events.

 

A uniquely creamy texture Authentic Italian-style soft-serve ice cream, served from a machine, offers a lightness and creaminess that traditional tubs simply can’t match.

 

Classic and Beloved Flavors Vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate—we offer the flavors that everyone loves.

Served in a cone or a cup For added convenience, your employees can choose their own container—perfect for eating on the go during a Summer Party.

The Frozen Yogurt Animation

The healthy, modern alternative to ice cream.

A light, low-calorie base Frozen yogurt is refreshing, lower in fat than traditional ice cream, and easy to digest.

The Topping Bar Concept That’s the highlight of this event: participants add fresh fruit, fruit sauce, or cookie crumbs to their yogurt themselves.

A Very Trendy Activity Frozen yogurt is very popular and gives the events organized by your Employee Benefits Committee a modern and dynamic image.

Food stalls that everyone loves

At a Christmas party, food-related activities are always the most popular. The smell of warm crepes, the whirring cotton-candy machine, or the hot chocolate fountain… These booths create a warm and magical atmosphere that immediately puts guests in the holiday spirit. Our activities are designed to be accessible to everyone, from young children to seniors.

Activities suitable for children

The CSE’s Christmas tree often welcomes employees’ children. Our booths are therefore designed to be safe, fun, and accessible even for the youngest children. Cotton candy, popcorn, and soft-serve ice cream are must-haves that make children’s eyes light up. The smoothie bike, meanwhile, is always a hit with older kids.
