General Information

Voluntary Work (bénévolats)

  • Following a call by the Maison du Quartier des Eaux Vives (MQEV), the general assembly of the association elected me and eight other candidates as the new members of its Steering Committee in April 2017.The different Maisons du Quartier work for the social coherence and integration in their respective neighbourhood. I ended this voluntary work in April 2019.
  • Following a four months training, we formed the team of guides for the re-opening of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in 2013.Our mission was to share the humanitarian initiative of Henry Dunant and principles of the Geneva Conventions. Until becoming responsible for the museum’s Visitor Service in 2016, I continued working as a guide.
