Raphael Jeronimo Calderón

Jeronimo is a Bolivian-Swiss dual citizen currently living in Geneva. He graduated from University of Geneva in Political Science and is presently enrolled in the International Relations M.A. program at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. His desire to make a difference pushed him to create EUforIA (www.euforiaction.org), a youth driven organization committed to increasing involvement and awareness among our generation of today's most pressing global challenges. Last summer he absolved a three month internship as political advisor to the Presidential Representative in Cochabamba. Among his engagements figured such diverse activities as participating in press conferences, meetings with local authorities, ministers, the president and social movements, contributing to the International Encounter of Latin American Youth, and many more.

Yoko Malbos

Yoko is a 24 year old French-American citizen living in Geneva since 2001. She graduated from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in 2007 and is currently working for Friends of Humanity, a small Geneva-based organization dedicated to projects aiming at improving the quality of life for people through out the world. Pushed by a sense of responsibility, in the past years she has been active in Amnesty International, the GIMUN, EUforIA (www.euforiaction.org) and Greenpeace. An acute interest in environmental issues led her to follow courses in organic agriculture and permaculture and she recently co-founded V’île Verte, an association dedicated to sharing knowledge on agro-environmental issues. She has travelled several times to Latin America, and is particularly fond of Bolivia, where she lived for a few months.
