Who We Are
-
Pierre and Melissa on the day they dreamed up World Citizen Games
-
World Citizen Games was founded by Pierre Beaudet and Melissa Melendez. Both originally from France, they met teaching French in their adoptive New York, became best friends and the rest… will be history.
Pierre, from the Lyon region in France, has a passion for languages and exploring new cultures. He has a bachelor's degree in Classics and professional experience in both the public and private sector. He’s the one working at this very moment to ensure your orders are shipped on time.
Melissa, from the Paris region, has a diverse background shaped by her family’s multicultural roots. She graduated with an Arts Degree, has extensive experience in kids’ education and is currently working in marketing. She’s the creative brain behind World Citizen Games and brings to it her playfulness and love of cultural discovery. She has learned how to draw a llama for this.
Together, they share the belief that there is tremendous joy and power in helping people connect through languages and cultures!
