Marie Sorbier

Marie Sorbier, producer of a bulletin on the national French radio station France Culture, joins the FEDE Panel of Experts What did you study? I graduated with a master’s from the EAC; I was ranked first in my year. I wrote my dissertation on the sacred roots of journeys: ‘Is a Journey a Secular Pilgrimage?’ I then wrote a doctoral thesis on the anthropology of art at the EHESS. My research focused on the power of images. What have been the highlights of your career?  I started out as a parliamentary assistant at the French Senate, where I worked for the Cultural Affairs Committee. I went on to work as a consultant in cultural institutions, first focusing on communications, then later on events and patronage. In 2015 I created a [lire plus]

Patrick Vieu

Patrick Vieu: ‘We should build rather than undergo globalisation’ A graduate of the ENA ("Léon Gambetta" class of 1991-1993) and Sciences Po Paris, Patrick Vieu also has a PhD in philosophy. Among his various posts, from 2012-2014 he was the French President’s Advisor on the Environment and the Regions, focusing on transport and sustainable development. A member of the FEDE’s Academic Council, in this interview he shares his views on globalisation. ‘We should build rather than undergo globalisation’… Nice phrasing, but what does it mean?  We can manage the demographic, environmental and migration-related challenges of globalisation if we are able to produce, collectively, a representation of the world that the majority of people can approve. Rather than a globalisation based on forced interdependencies, we need a globalisation based on active [lire plus]

Interview of Jean Fossiez

Jean Fossiez : ‘The FEDE DBA vehicles my ongoing desire for personal growth’ Can you tell us about your previous studies? I have an engineering degree in agriculture from the Institut Supérieur en Agriculture, Lille; it’s a background that has given me a critical approach to practical and concrete issues. What have been the highlights of your professional career so far? I initially worked in the supermarket sector (1986 to 1998). In 1998 I decided to start a career in education, and this turned out to be my true vocation. Nonetheless, I’ve maintained a keen interest in my initial area of expertise – agriculture. Since 1998 I’ve worked as an instructor in various educational institutions. That’s how I came to hear of the FEDE DBA, which is offered to students [lire plus]

Interviews with Rémi Victorin

Rémi Victorin: ‘This DBA is one of the most important landmarks in my career’ What has been your experience during your two years at the Doctoral School? My two years at the Doctoral School have been extremely informative and enriching. The chief reason is that Professor Bischoff, who is a French-state accredited research supervisor, has helped me to identify an optimal research methodology and analytic approach. Can you tell us more about the subject of your DBA? Though it was not initially my intention, the subject relates very much to contemporary affairs. At the outset I planned to work on financial crises, with the 2008 subprime crisis as my central focus. In the first part of the DBA I planned to discuss the origins of the crisis and the solutions [lire plus]

Interview of Benoit RICO

Benoit RICO ‘I was convinced by the FEDE’s international reputation’ Can you tell us about your previous studies? I have a FEDE European Master’s in Management and Business Strategy (ENACO) as well as a FEDE European Bachelor’s (DEES) in Marketing, plus a BTS in Business Unit Management. What have been the highlights of your professional career so far? Having gathered experience as a company employee, working for example as assistant manager in a company dedicated to the food trade and communications manager in a consulting firm, I took the plunge and became an insurance agent. This has enabled me to enjoy the freedom, challenges and risk of entrepreneurship. The personal investment is such that my current status has nothing to do with any of my previous positions. Why did you [lire plus]

World NGO Day

On 27 February the FEDE attended the World NGO Day debate organised by the Conference of INGOs. The debate was entitled ‘Why do we need NGOs? (I)NGO contribution to the work and to the mandate of the Council of Europe’. In today’s Europe, democratic principles are being increasingly challenged. The debate of 27 February was an opportunity for civil society representatives, diplomats, students and Council of Europe staff to reaffirm the central role of NGOs in defending human rights, democracy and the rule of law. In close contact with citizens, NGOs work hard to find fresh solutions to contemporary challenges linked to education and culture, migration, the respect of fundamental rights, climate change and many others. The FEDE is proud to belong to the Council of Europe’s Conference of INGOs, [lire plus]
