A young delegate who wants to strengthen social cohesion

Mehdi is 22 years old and a student at Sciences Po Paris studying for a Masters in Public Affairs. Passionate about the public sector, he is professionally and personally committed to serving the public interest. Convinced of the vital importance of social cohesion, he has been involved in a number of community projects, particularly in Saint-Denis, the town where he comes from and to which he is very attached.

Through a number of professional experiences in the field of children and young people, notably in the office of the Secretary of State for Children, Mehdi has become familiar with the technicalities of youth policies. While keeping a firm eye on the ground, in the leisure centres in Saint-Denis where he works as a youth worker, he has become aware of the need to strengthen social cohesion and take ambitious public action for young people.

Very sensitive to issues of poverty and exclusion, his civic commitment began early in this field. A member of secours populaire and co-founder of the association's branch at Sciences Po Paris, he sees the association's motto “everything human is ours” as a principle that should be applied across the board.

Convinced that tomorrow's inclusive societies can best be built at European level, with and for young Europeans, Mehdi wants to bring together the points of view of a wide range of players on the subject and thus help to break down the barriers between public policy-making by bringing it closer to the people most affected.
