Information & Communications
Béatrice speaks English, French
Béatrice joined the Energy Cities team in 1997!
She initially took charge of documentation, and very quickly moved on to information and communications, as well as website management.
She also does info watch for all the topics covered by Energy Cities’ activities: local governance, democracy, climate-neutral cities, community-led energy initiatives, sustainable food systems and energy sufficiency.
Locally, she participates in the activities of the Grand Besançon Métropole Climate Club, of which Energy Cities is a member.
Since 2014, she has been part of the team co-facilitating the POTEs network – Ordinary Pioneers of the Ecological Transition – with the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region, in partnership with ADEME and the Regional Biodiversity Agency.
This network brings together people committed to the ecological transition at a regional level; its objectives are to promote its members’ initiatives and help them spread, to encourage mutual support, and to develop collective projects.
In her personal life, Béatrice has served on her local council for two terms, the second of which as deputy mayor.
She is also part of the team of volunteers at a community café called ‘Chez la p'tite Suzanne’, a pleasant spot that’s ideal for socialising.
She enjoys being in nature, going for walks, playing volleyball and spending quality time with her family and friends
