On July 26th, we held a successful gathering and networking luncheon in Paris, featuring esteemed guests including Elizabeth Moreno, former French Minister, and Gabriela Ramos, Mexico’s official candidate for Director-General of UNESCO.

 

The event coincided with Afro-descendant Women’s Day on July 25th, aligning with Excellency Elisabeth Moreno’s ADWIN initiative. We also expressed our support for Gabriela Ramos’ candidacy, welcoming the prospect of another strong female leader at the helm of UNESCO.

 

Over 30 distinguished guests attended, including global chairs, country chairs, and prospective new members, specially invited by Global Chairs Vanessa Florence Roux, who now heads the wing of Coaching & Training, and Lamia Hanafi, who has taken the lead at the Start Up Ecosystems wing.
