Hello everyone, Well yes, the time has also come for me to start sharing you blog posts on my internship! As some of you already know, in the next six months I will be doing an internship at Engage, a society that is part of the CRI and was founded 2 years ago now. Engage's mission is to involve civil society in an economic, environmental and societal transition. The meaning of “transition” is to skip from a passive status ( ex. be conscious of all the environmental issues) and pass to an active status (move to action and make a change). To this end, Engage has been structured around three axes : - Engage Network, that inspires community around media and creative events giving information on current issues. - Engage University, that allows everyone to acquire the knowledge and skills to become an actor of the changement. For this purpose, Engage offers courses on 5 main themes: geopolitics, environment, technology, new governance and ethics. The stakeholders at Engage University are experts in these themes, such as Gilles Babinet, a member of the European Commission and a digital expert, or Pierre Henri Gouyon, a researcher at the Museum of Natural History in Paris and an expert on biodiversity and many others. - Engage Action, that enables everyone to contribute to projects with a strong social and environmental impact. The five themes of Engage. Source : http://engage.world/programme-transitions Today, Engage brings together a multidisciplinary community of 4,000 active members. Its innovation is given by the different profiles of participants as well as stakeholders (differences in field of work, country and age). It has accelerated or developed more than 10 projects, including Engage With Refugees, whose ambition is to facilitate the social and professional integration of refugees. In this very motivating framework, I am responsible for communication. In the Engage team I am the only one in charge of this mission, for this reason I have quite a lot of tasks to accomplish: writing the Engage Newsletter that is sent once a month to the participants, keeping update the database and social networks, interview Engage University’s stakeholders (researchers, diplomats, artists, etc.) and then write articles about their work, organize events (contact speakers, organize conferences ...) and many other missions. Engage, since it is a small society, allows me to accomplish many tasks alone, reason why I have the opportunity to develop my skills and my creativity always following the codes set by Engage by giving to my work a concrete and useful sense. The open mind of Engage allows me to express myself during the several meetings by proposing my ideas and developing my projects (itinerants, of course, to Engage's themes). I had the opportunity to develope a page on Twitter where everyday I publish informations and articles about actual issues ( mostly environmentals ). The aim of it is to give rapid and essentials information to the audience in order to be able to be aware about current issues and take action. Moreover, Engage regularly organizes conferences on topics that interest me (ecology, biodiversity, biomimetics ...) and I have the opportunity to attend them free of charge and enrich my personal culture. I hope to have given you a general framework on my work at Engage. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment.
