Mission Banlieue : Local Coalition Coordinator And Advocacy Assistant
Seine-St.-Denis, Île-De-France, France
Eager to learn more about health rights of marginalised groups and social inclusion in urban settings, I joined Médecins du Monde in the Parisian suburbs. I was responsible for, among others:- Coordinating the collective "Bidonvilles 93", uniting 20 civil society organisations in Seine-Saint-Denis that work on the inclusion of Roma communities (or perceived as such) living in informal settlements- Supporting the activities of the Bidonvilles program (former Roma program) of Médecins du Monde- Research and advocacy about the impact of the upcoming mega-sporting events on the local populations in precarious housing conditions
