The Thematic Networking sessions are meant for clear networking purposes among impact investors, funds, and other stakeholders working in the same field. The sessions will start with drawing a big picture on the theme by the host and lead to individual discussions. Through dialogue and exchange among participants the session will give an opportunity to meet other peers interested or already working on the topic to learn from each other and explore potential for collaboration. Host: Tatiana Villacieros, UN Agency for Refugees (BE)
I truly believe that we can create partnerships to support the 71 million refugees struggling to survive worlwide.

About me
I co-founded the non-profit organization Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (BSF) / Libraries Without Borders in 2007 alongside French Historian Patrick Weil. I have since been leading the NGO in its mission to reduce the vulnerability of populations through enhancing access to information and education.
By creating innovative programs such as the Ideas Box, a portable multimedia toolkit designed for vulnerable populations, the Code Travelers - Les Voyageurs du Code (computer programming workshops for youth) or the adaptation of Khan Academy into French, I have developed BSF into one of the most innovative NGO in the field of access to education and information.
With 100 staffs and a budget of €8M, BSF is present in 30 countries around the world. The organization has received numerous awards including he French presidential initiative – la France S’engage, the Google Impact Challenge in 2015 and WISE Award in 2016).
I am a member of the Clinton Global initiative and Ashoka fellow since 2015. He is also joine
