Since, he participated as one of the consultants in the elaboration of a new project by a group of extern experts under the direction of Jacques Hainard, the former director of the ethnographic museum in Geneva and the Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel, and Roger Mayou, the former director of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva.
