European Political Community (EPC)

The European Political Community (EPC) was founded in Prague on 6 October 2022 during an inaugural summit bringing together 44 European heads of state and government. The summit was organised under the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU). The EPC aims to improve unity, cooperation and dialogue between all countries in Europe. Background Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022, the European Union was faced with a complex situation. Indeed, although Ukraine is a democracy, it is far from meeting EU standards, and it would take many years, or even decades, for the country to be admitted as an EU member. The founding of the EPC was suggested to the European Parliament by Emmanuel Macron on 9 May 2022 [lire plus]

The Council of Europe’s Observatory for History Teaching in Europe (OHTE)

Interview with Xavier Paroutaud, Director of Education at the FEDE Invited by the OHTE to speak on 12 May 2022 as a panellist on the topic ‘The end of peace in Europe?’, Xavier Paroutaud answered questions posed by former minister and MEP Alain Lamassoure concerning the challenges facing democracy and the role of the Council of Europe and the Observatory in promoting balanced and dispassionate history teaching. 1. How can we define Europe and describe its history? That depends on which Europe we are talking about, on our perspective and our field; but it is essential to use history to describe Europe. In this sense, we would probably have to start with a geographical description, then think about constructing a history of the continent (to the extent that there [lire plus]

Experience of a FEDE DBA student: Benoit Rico

Just as a sportsperson has to surpass him- or herself to reach the finish line, doctoral students outdo themselves in writing a thesis, which can be compared to a mental workout requiring an enormous amount of investment. My fellow doctoral students and I have, so to speak, competed in the Olympic Games in writing our theses. In these first two years of the programme I have been motivated by a desire to push myself further and further, to produce an important work, and to ensure that my research is relevant. Two years already! That might seem like a long time, but it is in fact very little. Our thesis director told us from the outset, in a tone that was both friendly and teacherly, that we were going to [lire plus]

Barbara Grimoux: ‘My DBA topic is of interest to a number of organisations’

At the end of your first year of research, where are you up to with writing the thesis? I’ve written about 40 pages. I plan to write a total of around 150 pages on diagnoses and 150 pages on ‘therapies’ – that is, on pedagogical sequences, how they go down with students and how they could be improved. What have been your professional and personal experiences of the DBA? My topic is of interest to both institutions and professionals. Consequently, I am in close contact with a number of FEDE institutions as well as with the MESRI and the CNAM. I have also had a lot of very rich discussions with fellow doctoral students and my DBA teachers. We have exchanged both knowledge and networks. This is a great [lire plus]

Antony Mahé: “Beware of promising too much.”

A doctor in sociology, director of studies at the firm Eranos, and member of the FEDE’s Panel of Experts, Antony Mahé tells us about the links between artificial intelligence and education. What contribution can AI make to education? As a sociologist specialised in the digital economy, I am quite sceptical about this. Nonetheless, there are some interesting opportunities linked to so-called adaptive learning – that is, the fact that AI can adapt to a student’s learning speed and level. It also seems that such technology will be able to anticipate a student’s risk of dropping out of school; this would be very useful, given that dropping out is a major problem. What would be the limitations of such uses?  One of the major problems relates to promising too much [lire plus]

ANTOINE BEON: “An editor is like the conductor of an orchestra.”

Member of the FEDE’s Panel of Experts, Antoine Béon is Director General of Editions Bragelonne publishing house (Paris, France). He tells us about his job and gives some advice to future editors. What have been the highlights of your career? The first highlight was my education: a Master’s in Product Design (2003) and Master’s in Education and the Teaching of Religion in 2015. After six years working in a design agency, I was fortunate enough to discover what has become a meeting place for my dual education: the publishing. Indeed, publishing combines my appetite for creativity in the broad sense and my love of books, which have always been my favourite medium since I was a child. I joined the technical management service of Hachette Livre in 2009. I [lire plus]

Tribute to François Bernard Huyghe

A long illness ultimately got the better of his passion for life. Born on 5 August 1951 in Paris, François Bernard passed away on 1 September 2022 after 70 years in this ‘career’ we call existence. A long-standing member of the FEDE’s Academic Council, director of research at the Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques (IRI) and chairman of the Observatoire Stratégique de l’Information (OSI), François was a teacher-researcher and the author of some 30 books, including Terrorismes: Violence et Propagande (Gallimard, 2011) and L’art de la guerre idéologique (Le Cerf, 2019).

He was well known to television viewers and radio listeners for his subtle and original analyses. François [lire plus]
