I discovered the dynamism of commons movement via a walk around urban commons http://wiki.remixthecommons.org/index.php/Balade_urbaines_sur_les_communs. I have been a contributor to several local commons on my territory and to the Lille Commons Assembly : http://assemblee.encommuns.org/index.php?title=Lille. Being an elected official , I am particularly interested in the question of public policies design, especially regarding mobility and accessibility. The issue of representation of public and exchanges of experience among the various governance bodies emerging common interests me first.
After training in biology, anthropology, psychology, and communication, and after several jobs as a community manager, web project manager, and in fair trade, Maïa Dereva suffered a severe burn-out at the end of which she said: “Now I want to work exclusively for the common good”. She then created the website semeoz.info which is an observatory of collaborative and constructive practices, and devotes time to many commons projects such as the P2P Foundation or the Assembly of the Commons of Lille (France). I'm interested in the process of development of institutions concerning commons, like Assemblies of the Commons.
I am part of Commons Josapaht (cityzen and associative initiative to create a neighborhood as a commons). In an other hand, I have coordinated with others the "Temps des Communs" in Belgium and Brussels last year.
I am one of the co-organiser of the two years process that led to the creation of the Interg-group at the European Parliament on the commons. Of course I am in touch with many of them. I am part of the group facilitating the Commons Space at the WSF (next August in Montreal) I am a Brussels-based social and political activist, searcher and campaigner. The Commons are both part of my activism and my research. Together with other topic such as: right to water, right to land, women's right, migration. I have been part of the" mouvement altermondialiste" since 2001 and participated in the Occupy movement in US. I am part of several networks such as EWM, Transform!, STOP-TTIP, as an activist, and of the IASC (as a researcher). And I collaborate with many others. By education I am social scientist (PhD) and currently studying Human Rights Law.
I am both a community-based researcher, and a consultant, based in France Brittany. I am also an Administrator of the SCIENCES CITOYENNES NGO, based in Paris. Citizen Science, Social Innovation and the Commons are the three key words to describe my field of interest
