Babel Initiative is the oldest student organisation on the Menton campus of SciencesPo Paris. It strives to create connection between the two sides of the Mediterranean, choosing every year a different country to be explored by students. This year Babel is bringing Jordanian culture to the Cote d'Azur and SciencesPo students to Jordan to carry out on the ground research.

The Board was established as part of a recent partnership between UN Human Rights, Education Above All Foundation (EAA) and Silatech, who share a strong belief and vision for empowering youth to engage in human rights work. The Board members will meet virtually as a group to create quality learning resources on human rights advocacy for and by youth.
