Now employed by the French national observatory on cultural policies (Observatoire des Politiques Culturelles), I was working last summer at the Cité de la musique in Paris, organizing a European summer academy, in partnership whith the European Music Council. Last spring, I was in internship at the French CCP Relais Culture Europe.
For five years, I was a freelance journalist for a local weekly: “L’Hebdo Vaucluse”. An associative radio where I had made some reports, interviews, chronicles, offered me to help them setting up a journalist crew. I was in charge of the training of 25 volunteer journalists and of coordinating of the relational team throughout the year. I have seen various contemporary art activities with a professional view. From writing articles to taking part in board of examiners for contests of musical groups, dancers, clowns or actors, I broadened my knowledge in performing arts and sharpened my reviews.
I passed a Master’s degree in “Public policies and social change” specialized in “cultural projects management” at Sciences Po Grenoble (Institut d’Études Politiques). I spent a few months in Turkey (Ankara Istanbul Izmir) for my reseach on “European identity and cultural diplomacy : the Turkish example”.
Before that, after two years of law studies, I joined a professionalized University Institute, in Avignon, South of France. For three years, I teamed up with various groups organising cultural events in fields such as cinema, conferences, forums, heritage, theatre or concerts. I also spent a semester in Salamanca, Spain with the Erasmus European student exchange.
