Gadz'Arts or Gadzarts is the nickname given to the students and the alumni of Arts et Métiers ParisTech (formerly École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers - ENSAM), a prestigious university (grande ecole) specialised in engineering.
The "Gadz" folklore includes traditional clothing, slang, songs and legends, related symbolism, and ceremonials.
Gadz'Arts activities are independent of the administration of the school and are exclusively run by the students and alumni, although the two parts often cooperate for organising cultural or sporting events.
The Gadz'Arts community is proud of its ancient traditions which are based on the values of mutual aid and fraternity as well as on the oral memory of numerous anecdotes and songs connected to the history of the school.
Friends, let us taste this happiness others scorn, For recall well that within the School of Arts, "Fraternity", such remains our motto, Such it shall be for every true Gadz'Arts.
