CURRENT MISSION

Preparing a research project on Israel/Palestine. Trying to teach European politics to students.

ABOUT ME

I am married with Lilian, a Swiss German lady and we have four children: three girls and one boy - Yasmine (13 years old), Emil (11), Nava (9) and Sarai (6).
Lilian works in the theater Le Maillon. In her free time she creates clothes and other stuff with her sawing machine and study to play the guitare. She also reads a lot instead of sleeping at night.

I work as a university professor to US students, teaching European politics and European institutions.
I also did some parliamentary diplomacy and EU lobbying about Israel/Palestine.

Between these activities I am also very active in the neighbourhood here and urbanism in Strasbourg, being part of the city council residents' committee for where I live and a new local organization, as well as a local workshop to fix your bicycle, a local printing house, etc.

I also sing in a chore!

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world (Gandhi). Do your thing. Make the best of what you have. Don't be boring, and try to be as innovative as possible.
