Founding co-chair

Presentation

I have a degree in International Relations (ESPOL, Lille) and a Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Multi-Level Governance from the University of Padua (Italy). After an internship with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, I carried out a traineeship at the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, where I notably worked on environmental and migration rights issues. I now work for the European Implementation Network, an NGO based in Strasbourg that collaborates with various European institutional and civil society players to implement the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. My research interests revolve around refugee rights, environmental rights, criminal justice, in particular the prosecution of perpetrators of genocide (cultural and environmental), as well as the interaction of different levels of jurisdiction in the protection of these rights and related accountability mechanisms.

general secretary

Presentation

I’m studying International Relations at ESPOL (Lille), I’ve always had a passion for writing and a desire to be useful, ‘in my own way’. Joining GROW quickly became an obvious way for me to combine these two interests. At ESPOL, I was in charge of the editorial department of Caribou, an environmental awareness association, and I did my degree course at Lambersart town hall, where I wrote a report in preparation for the town’s next call for tenders. On the strength of these editorial experiences, I hope to make my contribution to the think tank. It’s in an environment like this that I’d like to flourish, both as an association and professionally.

As a student at Sciences Po Lille and the University of Kent, I’m doing a double-diploma in political science and international relations. At the same time, I’m doing a degree in Art History, which I’m trying to link to my interest in defending human rights in conflict situations by working on the theme of cultural genocide. I’m also interested in transitional justice in post-conflict societies, the use of rape as a weapon of war and violations of the law of armed conflict.

Jade Roger

treasury officer

Presentation

I am currently in my third year of a Bachelor’s degree in International Finance, and I’m doing a parallel course at the IAE in Lille and the Complutense University in Madrid. As a volunteer with the Solid’Action association, I’m involved in the fight against inequalities in access to information. Our work involves collecting university books and redistributing them to partner universities and associations in West and Central Africa. On the strength of my experience in voluntary work, I’d like to put my skills to work for GROW. With my commitment to social justice issues, I was immediately drawn to the think tank GROW, which offers an ideal platform for combining my treasury and communication skills with my commitment to human rights.

PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT

The Public Relations Department is responsible for designing campaigns to disseminate our work to various stakeholders, contacting them for conferences, round tables, or symposiums.

Apolline Barillé

After three exciting years at Sciences Po Bordeaux (including a year as an exchange student at the University of Sussex), in September 2023 I joined the double master’s programme in Public Affairs and International Relations (MPIA) at Glendon College, York University (Toronto, ON) and Sciences Po Strasbourg (France). Over the years, I have developed a keen interest in the field of public health, and more specifically in health governance. In the future, I would like to implement international public policies that promote equal access to healthcare for every individual. More specifically, I would like to focus on protecting and improving the medical rights of people living with HIV.

I’m a final-year undergraduate student in European Political Science at ESPOL (Lille). I’m passionate about environmental issues, food safety and lobbying, and I’m currently writing a research paper on the impact of lobbying on European environmental policies.

ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT

The Advocacy Department conducts research and awareness-raising activities on specific topics related to human rights. It produces various formats, including fact sheets, articles, infographics, and drafts reports and policy briefs that make recommendations to relevant stakeholders. The Advocacy Department is currently divided into two major themes, representing our main advocacy focuses: the treatment of prisoners in France and modern slavery worldwide.

Emeline Dandeu

Advocacy co-manager

Presentation

I’m currently doing a Master’s 2 in International and European Fundamental Rights Law, and since the start of my degree I’ve always wanted to get involved in defending fundamental rights. I’m particularly interested in defending refugees and migrants, and this last year I specialised in issues relating to the treatment of migrants in Libya. Modern slavery is also one of my favourite subjects. So my involvement with GROW has given me an enriching insight into these issues. My future goals are to become a professional in the field of advocacy and humanitarian project management.

Samantha FRARY--AUBERT

Advocacy co-manager

Presentation

After completing my degree in International Relations (ESPOL), I graduated from a Master’s degree (LLM) in International Human Rights Law with International Migration. Passionate about international law and human rights, I decided to specialise in the field of migration after my undergraduate research paper on The Protection of IDPs under International Law – the case of Nagorno-Karabakh. Today, my research focuses mainly on refugee law and international criminal law. My master’s thesis focuses on The Place of Victims under International Criminal Law – A study of the application of victim participation in the ICC and its inherent hierarchy of victims. The common goal of all my research is to defend the rights of the most vulnerable. I would like to go on to work for international tribunals, in particular the ICC, or NGOs defending human rights and refugees.

Giada Canzut

Advocacy officer

Presentation

I have a degree in International Relations and Diplomacy Studies from the University of Trieste. I am currently doing a Master’s degree in International Security Studies at the Sant’Anna College (Pisa, Italy) and the University of Trento. As part of the research for my dissertation, I analysed various conflicts in countries in the Middle East and North Africa, tracing the sponsorship of Turkish authoritarianism in this area. In this way, I was able to associate my interests with a specific territory: that of the MENA, which remains at the centre of my studies. I am particularly interested in international law, conflict resolution and its effects on civilians, from here to the link with human rights. Additionally, by studying international humanitarian law, I was able to discover a new area that I’m passionate about: the protection of prisoners of war.

After three years of literary preparatory classes and two Masters in research, I turned to advocacy to combine my taste for writing and research with that of defending fundamental rights and individual freedoms. I started by joining a coordination group of feminist associations campaigning for the defence of women’s rights at national, European and international level. We worked to enshrine abortion in the Constitution, set out demands for the European elections and put together a feminist advocacy document for the recent legislative elections.

I’m currently in my third year at Sciences Po Bordeaux, and have just returned from a university exchange in Colombia, with a view to specializing in international relations and human rights. My commitment to human rights began at the age of 13, when I joined a departmental youth council. I then co-founded a humanitarian Junior Association, where I worked on international solidarity projects, notably in Burkina Faso and Lebanon. I also had the opportunity to sit on the Board of Directors of the Réseau National des Juniors Associations, which led to the publication of a white paper defending minors’ right of association.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT

With a degree in International Relations and Diplomacy from the University of Trieste and a Masters in Human Rights and Multi-Level Governance from the University of Padua, my academic career has been marked by a keen interest in the intersection between traditional human rights investigation methodologies and the challenges posed by the digital age. Beyond the academic world, I actively developed my commitment to human rights and international relations as a freelance journalist for Koliba. Through thought-provoking articles, I explored topics such as minority rights, fundamental freedoms and international justice. In addition, in my current role as project and communications officer at the Dutch NGO UpRights, which is dedicated to pursuing justice and accountability for human rights violations, I am deeply involved in strengthening the processes of investigating human rights violations and international crimes.

HUMAN RIGHTS DEPARTMENT

The Human Rights Department is in charge of creating content aimed at educating the public on human rights. It produces various types of content that are periodically shared on our social media, requiring weekly monitoring efforts. These contents include explanations of human rights concepts, weekly news updates, and focuses on current issues. The department is divided into seven themes: rule of law and fundamental freedoms, children’s rights, environmental rights, women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, the rights of refugees and migrants, and international justice and humanitarian law.

I am currently in my second year of Bachelor’s of Law with a specialisation in Political Science at the Université Catholique de Lille, and I am planning to do a Master’s in European Law. I have always been interested in international issues, therefore it was natural for me to choose a degree that, while being academically rigorous, is also enriching thanks to the diversity of the subjects taught, in both political science and law. In addition to my studies, I have also been able to gain experience through my involvement in charitable work and associations.

I am a student of an International Relations bachelor’s degree at ESPOL. I have always had a passion for journalism and International Relations. I’ve been lucky enough to do a number of internships, including an editorial internship at Sud Ouest and an internship as a reporter for the World Forum 2023. This placement at the World Forum for Responsible Economy helped me to understand how important it is for companies to make the transition to better international development. I think it’s very important, as a young person, to be aware and active in this fight that affects us all. Environmental law is not insignificant.

I am currently doing a European degree in political science (ESPOL, Lille), so getting involved with GROW was an obvious choice. My interest in social justice issues intensified after a university exchange in Lebanon. I then specialised in the Middle East and North Africa, with a particular focus on geopolitics and international cooperation. I chose to focus on international justice and international humanitarian law, two areas that are essential to conflict management. My aim is to contribute, in my own small way, to positive change. I also have a keen interest in migration issues. Having done an internship at Utopia 56, I was able to deepen my knowledge and commitment.

Emma Macpherson

women's rights officer

Presentation

I am currently in my final year of a BA (Hons) in Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary University of London. During my studies I have specialised in gender, media and international relations. I studied gender issues in politics and international relations at the University of Melbourne, as an exchange student, and at my university in England; as a result of these experiences, I specified the research for my bachelor’s thesis around the concept of the continuum of violence against women. Within this framework, I decided to examine this phenomenon through the link between gender inequalities and sexual violence in times of peace and war, as well as in the international policies of these two time spheres. In addition, having worked at the World Economic Forum and done an internship at the House of Commons of the British Parliament, these experiences reinforced my belief in the importance of political institutions and the role of the media in transmitting information on major international policy issues.

COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT

The Communication Department develops and implements the think tank’s internal and external communications strategy. Its main task is to present our work on social networks, as well as on our website and newsletter, ensuring a balance between the graphic identity of our organisation and the readability of the content.

As a student in International Relations since 2022 at ESPOL in Lille, I enjoy trying to understand the different issues at stake on the contemporary international scene. I have always been attracted by the diversity of ideas that can exist, and in particular their different uses in a broad field such as international relations. All these interconnected relationships, the dismantling of truth and falsehood, of critical thinking. I like trying to understand the world and to solve this ideological puzzle in order to understand the place I want to take in this system. Apart from that, I am very involved in associations, from the Sports Office to the creation of a cellar centre within the “Le Petit Lillois” association. I enjoy learning, carrying out projects and, above all, taking action.

I’m currently doing a Masters in Peace, Conflict and Security, delivered by UNITAR and the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, before going on to do a second MSc in Human Rights and Politics at the London School of Economics next year. My background has shaped my interest in human rights, and more specifically in the intersection between the defence of children’s rights in war-torn countries and international conflict resolution. For example, my bachelor’s thesis focused on the strategic use of child soldiers in the MENA region, a subject that I intend to explore further in my current master’s degree. I am also very interested in the rights of refugees, women’s rights, access to education for children in precarious situations and in conflict zones, the ecological transition in developing countries such as Mauritius, and the treatment of minority communities and intercultural conflicts.

CULTURE DEPARTMENT

The Culture Department writes cultural recommendations on books, films, series, music, podcasts, etc. that can help to educate, inform and raise awareness of human rights. It also produces profiles of personalities who have had an impact on the promotion of human rights, as well as other formats such as articles linking culture and human rights, podcasts, interviews, etc.

After graduating from ESPOL with a BA in International Relations, I decided to continue my studies in Dublin on a Masters in International Politics at Trinity College. I was incredibly lucky to spend a semester in Lebanon, at the Lebanese American University in Beirut, studying Middle Eastern politics. That semester changed me forever. Lebanon is an incredible country, with an equally incredible population, generous and unfortunately living through multiple crises (electricity, economic, political, petrol). I decided to write my undergraduate dissertation on Hezbollah’s involvement in the Syrian war and the delegitimisation of a national resistance force.

My educational background includes a Master’s degree in International Relations with a specialisation in Diplomacy from LUISS Guido Carli University in Rome, Italy. Prior to that, I obtained a degree in Languages, Cultures, Literatures and Translation from La Sapienza University in Rome. I have a particular interest in human rights, with a specific commitment to women’s rights. Indeed, my academic and professional career has been guided by a deep commitment to equality and empowerment. This passion was awakened during my in-depth research for my Master’s thesis, A Female Commitment to Europe: Fabrizia Baduel Glorioso – First Lady of Europe. Exploring the history of Italian foreign policy, I explored the role of Fabrizia Baduel Glorioso, an Italian trade unionist, and her contributions to European integration in the 1980s. Witnessing her historic achievements as the first Italian woman to chair the Economic and Social Committee, and later to sit in the European Parliament, resonated deeply with my commitment to women’s rights.

THE WRITERS

At GROW, anyone can write articles. Members of the think tank, whatever their role in the association, can submit ideas and write, either alone or with others. We also encourage people from outside of the think tank to contact us if they would like to write articles that we can publish on our website.
