Level Up: Meet Your New CIVICA Student Ambassadors

Sciences Po is part of CIVICA, a European network of ten leading higher education institutions, such as Bocconi University, LSE, or the Stockholm School of Economics. CIVICA members strive to find solutions to complex societal challenges through a series of integrated activities focused on four pressing priorities:

  • Societies in transition and crises of earth;
  • Challenges to democracy in the 21st Century;
  • Europe revisited;
  • Data-driven technologies for the social sciences.

The CIVICA alliance offers outstanding opportunities for Sciences Po's students, researchers, teachers, and staff to learn, research, think collectively, travel to partner universities, and connect with peers.

Every year, three CIVICA student ambassadors are selected at Sciences Po to promote all CIVICA activities and opportunities to students at the Bachelor, Master, and PhD level. They will make sure that their fellow Sciences Po students are aware of what's going at CIVICA through different tools: producing social media content, organising events, attending CIVICA meetings (online or in partner universities), etc.

Meet Caroline, Justine, and Théo, your CIVICA ambassadors for 2025/2026:

« I believe that there is a need to promote CIVICA now more than ever, in times of democratic backsliding and mounting pressure on our identity as Europeans. At the 2024 CIVICA Sport and Culture Festival in Warsaw, I witnessed the creation of a space where students shared ideas, collaborated, and built a stronger European academic community. I would be eager to initiate or join projects related to gender, security, governance, and international cooperation. »

Caroline Kerdiles

Master's student in International Security, Paris School of International Affairs

« Becoming a CIVICA Ambassador will enable me to combine my European academic path, organisational and communication skills, and civic engagement to contribute actively to the alliance. I have taken part in several initiatives that reflect my European outlook: the European Student Council, the Model European Council, the Model United Nations of Munich, and the Refugee Challenge. I am committed to social justice and I believe that active citizenship must combine both advocacy and concrete action in the field. »

Théo Foreau

Bachelor's student, Nancy Campus, Minor European Union, Franco-German Partnership

« CIVICA means crossing cultural and national boundaries to form fresh intellectual and political coalitions. My priority is to promote research and thought that supports more respectful and enriching environments for immigrants. I aim to create cross-campus immigrant research seminars, forums, and working groups, with the focus of developing a paradigm for immigration policy that is not dependent on nation states as the principal actors. »
