Claire LAUNAY

I am Claire Launay (30 years old, French), I have been working at CINEP (Centro de Investigación y Educación Popular) in Bogotà, Colombia for two years. I am coordinating two projects with my colleague Diego Escobar: disseminating the Charter of Human Responsibilities in 5 regions of Colombia in different social sectors: women, youth, executives, etc. And the creation of a methodological centre (experience collection, information systemisation, mapping) focused on issues of regional integration in South America.

These two projects are being carried out with the support of the Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation.

After completing a Masters degree in political history, specialising in development project management, I assisted in the creation of a project in education for peace in Rwanda and Burundi in 2000. I then worked at the Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation for two years (2000-2002), initially as a member of the team preparing and organising the World Citizen Assembly in Lille in 2001 and then in charge of coordinating a capitalisation of initiatives for peace undertaken by the Foundation in different regions of the world. Through these experiences and activities I have become involved in the Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and United World.
