I have a bachelor’s degree in communications with a minor in Communication for Development (C4D). I am very interested in international organizations and cooperation, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and projects and programs that address issues related to agriculture, the environment, humanitarian aid, the socio-economic integration of young people and women, the fight against poverty, the defense and protection of human rights, education, public health, etc.

After discovering ULB-Coopération, an NGO specializing in agroecology, agroforestry, health and health systems, and critical citizenship education, I had the opportunity to join the local NGO in Burkina Faso as a volunteer. In fact, doing an internship at ULB-Coopération was one of the best experiences for me because it allowed me to discover and experiment with the NGO’s internal and external communication (designing visibility tools, participating in various meetings, organizing events, etc.). I also took part in field missions, various workshops, and activities, which allowed me to acquire other knowledge and strengthen my skills beyond communication. Finally, my time at ULB-Coopération was beneficial for me in that I left sufficiently equipped and ready to pursue my dream.
