READY TO CHANGE THE WORLD
WHO WE ARE
When we were little we all had a dream to change the world … We still follow our childhood’s dreams
Green Karavan was born in consequence of the meeting of people who are passionate and concerned about the future of our planet and “know-how” we must educate our children so that they will understand the behaviors and actions that must be undertaken, from an early age, to benefit from a better future for the planet.
Coming from different backgrounds, our respective and complementary skills allow us to put in place essential tools for a good understanding of the challenges for sustainable and reasoned development.
Helping children to understand essential actions is to change the future.
Pascal Conicella
Author of the educational books “Les Voyages Fantastiques de Téo & Léonie”, Pascal, after his beginnings in typography and graphic art, quickly broadened his horizons to focus on photography, animation, cinema, then video games and advanced technologies, such as holograms, virtual reality, and augmented reality.
It was while traveling around the world in a backpack, and rich in human experiences and discoveries, that he had the idea to make educational books for children.
Green Karavan is simply the continuation of his books including the concepts of sustainable development for children.
Thibault SérièS
Socio-cultural animation and development of fun activities with educational purposes for “Les Voyages Fantastiques de Téo & Léonie” and “Green Karavan”.
For more than 23 years, Thibault has been working alongside the world of popular education with the youngest. He tends to create actions, multidisciplinary projects in order to allow everyone to understand the world, on their own scale and to have educative background that will be able to modify their image.
An inveterate player from an early age, he has been developing, over the past ten years, many fun, associative and institutional projects, in order to transmit and share the values of the Game as a cultural, social and educational object, and as a link between people.
Animator, storyteller, player, Thibault feeds on the dreams that he encounters on his way every day…
Michel Speiser
Michel’s favorite activity, aside from reading science fiction, is discovering the patterns hidden in a large dataset.
He is Chief Data Scientist of the International Center for Earth Simulation (ICES Foundation, Geneva), where he develops “Machine Learning” techniques to improve modeling, simulation and visualization in the field of Earth systems.
Before that, he spent more than 6 years as a researcher at IBM Research, where he designed data analysis algorithms based on probabilistic, statistical, machine learning and data mining techniques.
Michel enjoys discovering new fields, and has worked with experts in web traffic, immunology, power electronics, neurosciences, digital microscopy, etc.
He studied computer science and mathematics (EPFL) and applied physics (Chalmers), and holds a doctorate in operations research and information systems (ETH Zurich).
