Working with young people in schools across Yorkshire to encourage progression to higher education.

My project was entitled “Identifying North Africans in the French Internal Resistance”. I worked closely with my Research Supervisor, Professor Nina Wardleworth, to contribute to the exhibition entitled “La France Libérée par son Empire?” (Was France liberated by its empire?) currently being shown at Le Mont Valérien. I consulted archives in SHD Vincennes in Paris as well as working with Deportation archives and family archives. I expanded my research skills in a professional context and realised my true passion for history and the transmission of memory. The research has been presented in various formats outside of the exhibition such as in Academic Conferences which I presented at. Notably I went to the British Houses of Parliament as part of an Undergraduate Research Conference to speak to MPs and key policy makers about my findings. The Laidlaw Foundation funded this experience and I was given complimentary Leadership Training in the format of workshops with career coaches and experiences to expand my cultural capital.

Stagiaire en Médiation Culturelle. Au Mont-Valérien et Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation, j'ai fait les visites guidées et aussi j’ai aidé avec les traductions pour les matériaux pédagogiques. J'ai fait des recherches dans les archives (Vincennes, Caen, Les Archives Nationales et la Prefecture de Police) dans le cadre de la valorisation des archives. J'ai aidé à établir des liens avec toutes les universités et collèges anglophones de Paris. J'ai créé une base de données pour le personnel. J’ai également travaillé à l’accueil.At Mont-Valérien and the Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation (Memorial to Martyrs sent to Nazi Camps) I do guided visits in both French and English as well as helping translate educational materials. I do research in a number of archives (Vincennes, Caen, and the Police Prefecture). I helped to establish a network between the memorials and English-speaking Universities in Paris. As a part of this, I created a database of University links. I also work directly with clients in a public-orientated role.
