Our Mission

We believe that action and aid should be concrete and practical, we strive to provide such in correspondance with the wider SPRH mission in the domains of law, material needs and more generally through our helpdesk. 

Eloïse Chenal

My name is Eloïse Chenal, I am 24 years old and in the second year of the Human Rights and Humanitarian Action Master. I studied history and political sciences in Germany and France. I have always been interested in migration and human rights and began volunteering in refugee camps quite early, in Germany, Palestine and France with lots of different NGOs. From my experience with NGOs and lawyers, I came to the conclusion that asylum seekers face a lot of obstacles to access their rights when asking for asylum in France, being the language, the level of education, or the availability of information. Volunteering with SPRH is a way to reduce those obstacles and help them access better life conditions. It’s my second year as a coordinator of the legal aid team, and I absolutely enjoy it!

Camille Krejdovsky

My name is Camille Krejdovsky and I am on exchange at Sciences Po. My home institution is Duke University in the United States, where I study French and Biology. At my home university, I volunteer with a refugee resettlement organization teaching English to French speaking refugees arriving in the United States. In the future, I aspire to attend medical school and practice medicine with a specialty in treating the unique needs of refugee populations. I find SPRH to be a very impactful organization and am excited to be involved!

Charlotte Haas

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I am currently 21 years old. After a double degree in
Franco-German law, I joined Sciences Po for a master's degree in public policy, and
continued my master's training in public law at Paris 1 University.
I decided to join SPRH in order to be able to put the skills I learned to the service of
others, and to be able to be useful in a difficult period. I am convinced that it is necessary
to give your time in order to make the lives of asylum seekers easier, and to improve, even in a minimal way, their reception in France.

Tommaso de Bellis

Hi! My name is Tommaso De Bellis, I’m twenty-two years old and I’m from Milan, Italy.
I hold a BA degree in International Studies and European Institutions from the University of Milan, and I’m currently pursuing a MA degree in Human Rights and Humanitarian Action at the SciencesPo’s Paris School of International Affairs.
Being a strong believer in the importance and potential of social solidarity, I decided to join the Legal Team at SPRH to put my studies and my desire to get involved at the service of asylum seekers in Paris.

BEATRICE FORESTAN

Hello, I’m Beatrice Forestan, an Italian student pursuing a master’s degree in Human Rights and Humanitarian Action. Through my efforts, I aim to convey the perspective that refugees are just people like us with their own needs and aspirations that deserve recognition. I am committed to working towards a fair and equitable world for all!

ASHER HANSEN

Hi! I’m Asher Hansen, an American student doing a bachelor’s exchange at SP. My research is in the anthropology of migration and the social experiences of migrants to Europe. I think the human-contact aspect of this work is way too often overlooked and has real community and social value!

ERICA MOREIRA

Hey!! I’m Érica. I am a 21-year-old girl originally from Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations from the University of Coimbra and I am a first-year Master's student in International Governance and Diplomacy. I do believe it is our duty as privileged to help, include, and integrate. Always motivated to be an active agent of change, I decided that SPRH was the ideal organisation to be, to have an impact, learn and contribute. You can count on me as one of the coordinators of the Helpdesk team, from the Asylum Aid Department.
