Current research projects

My career guideline is centered on participation and emancipation of people through a broad spectrum of approaches. It starts from the practical reality (worked as a social worker for youth support, animator of documentary workshops), continues through project coordination (action research in working-class neighborhoods in Wallonia and Brussels, creation of a collective civic service in Verviers), includes the analysis of practices and speeches (project "Words of youth. Who are they ?", membership of mutual practice-based learning teams) until touching the practice of art (making documentaries).

 

I currently work as a Project advisor within the framework of the 2016 Co-Create action towards Urban Resilience, a program financed by Innoviris, the Brussels Institute for scientific research (www.cocreate.brussels). More in particular,

 

  • I advise and support teams in the definition and implementation of their objectives and action plan

  • I create synergies between teams to make sure stakeholders share essential information

  • I help teams to mobilise users and stakeholders of the Brussels Region

  • I assist Innoviris to define scope and philosophy of the action
