Thibault Nivière, a 23-year-old student in his sixth year of law specializing in Economic Intelligence and Business Administration, made a name for himself during the “CPE events.” He distinguished himself by proposing a motion against the CPE, which was voted on in the communes of the Alpes-Maritimes, and ten communes approved it. Although he denies it, this civic action led him to another initiative: the first regional observatory dedicated to youth precariousness. The goal is to have Ph.D. students analyze the societal issues affecting young people and use this information to assess the exact needs and projects to be implemented to reduce the precariousness of this age group.
For Thibault Nivière: “A clear need for precise and clear figures is necessary according to the unions and institutional stakeholders. In partnership with university research laboratories, we will strive to provide precise, quantified, objective, and apolitical studies.” The word is out. Thibault Nivière and President Chadi Elicheiba do not want the observatory to be labeled a “political movement.” “We are neutral and the studies conducted within the observatory will be objective and in the interest of young people. The Ph.D. students who will focus on these topics will not take a political stance. The figures obtained will meet specific needs and will complement the statistics provided by the prefecture,” summarizes Thibault.
He has received support from Annie Arnaud, dean of the Faculty of Letters, and Robert Charvin, Professor of Law, as well as from most student and union organizations. General Assemblies on Youth and Social Integration among young people from neighborhoods and all students will take place during the winter, and an important study on seasonal employment is underway.
The observatory is already at work and hopes to obtain an apolitical response from all political decision-makers in the region.
