Alice Barbe

Alice Barbe is the co-founder of the international organization Singa and a former Fellow of the Barack Obama Foundation. Barbe works on topics related to migration, engagement, and citizen mobilization, and collaborates regularly with Columbia World Projects, Thinkers & Doers and the Institut Montaigne. She is the author of the recently-published On ne naît pas engagé, on le devient, published by Éditions de l’Observatoire. Barbe wonders: How can we draw inspirations from those we call “migrants”? How can we create new solutions that will give rise to a new generation of citizens?
