CNJE (JADE France) hosts French Minister of Immigration, Mr. Brice Hortefeux
In the December and January editions of the Club Junior-Enterprises (CJE), CNJE (also called JADE France) hosted two renowned speakers: the Minister for Higher Education & Research, Valérie Pécresse, and the President of the MEDEF (an association that gathers French CEOs), Laurence Parisot. During the March edition, CNJE had the pleasure to welcome Brice Hortefeux, Minister of Immigration.
In addition to the Minister, CNJE was honoured by the presence of Mr Bruschi, an attorney specialised in Human Rights, and Mr Sacko, President of the association of the Malian students in France. The Conference was attended by 500 people, mainly students and politicians.
A very interesting debate on immigration was held. Although the debaters agreed on the current situation of immigration in France, they did not share the same ideas to improve the future of immigrants. Moreover, this edition of the CJE was an opportunity to strengthen the situation of CNJE as a student think tank leader.
For the first time a CJE Conference was organized outside Paris, it took place in Clermont-Ferrand. It was organised with the much-appreciated help of SEGMA, the 35-year-old Junior-Enterprise of the ESC Clermont Business School.
On behalf of CNJE, Cédric Legros (CNJE President), had the opportunity to discuss with the Minister the status of foreign students from outside the EU, who still do not have the right to work for French JE’s. The CNJE really hopes this situation will change.
