Eurasia net is a dynamic, resourceful and passionate team.
Here’s how it is structured:
We introduce you to the team
Eurasia net’s employed and volunteer team : a great energy to implement local and international innovations.
Bertrand Soulcie
GENERAL COORDINATOR
Bertrand has an international acaedemic background : studies in England, France and the United States. His various experiences in the field of youth, non-formal education and his travels to meet cultural diversity have transformed his life ! This recipe is the basis of his passion : he decided to work on the setting up of European and international projects and to accompany young people in order to integrate an international dimension in their lives.
With a team of people motivated by the interculturality and internationalism, he decided to create Eurasia Net. The objective : to accompany young people, organisations and institutions from local to international level and to promote exchanges between Europe and Asia. He is now the director and general coordinator of the structure. Contact him to co-construct tomorrow’s projects : he loves working in cooperation to create innovations in the fields of youth, education and social entrepreneurship!

Dan Mu
ART AND LINGUISTIC PROJECTS
Dan is well-known Chinese artist who exhibits between Europe and Asia. She participated in the foundation of the associative project Eurasia Net and realized the exhibition “Eurasia Wings” for the 50 years of diplomatic relations between France and China, as well as an exhibition in Shanghai. She is in charge of artistic projects and intervenes in schools to raise awareness of the Chinese language, calligraphy and art. She is also in charge of cooperation projects with China.
Teva Pietruszka
With a wealth of experience of associative work in France during his studies, then as a volunteer across Europe, Teva himself was able to be accompanied all the way to Finland by Eurasia Net. There was no more logical follow-up than to join our team and, in turn, accompany young people across borders!

Executive Board
Vicky Atlani
I discovered Eurasia net in 2016 through a civic service in Marseille within the internal team. I took part in the implementation of international volunteering programs and some European projects on the theme of social entrepreneurship. With a university background in communication, project management and international studies, and the experience of several trips to Asia, volunteering at Eurasia net was a great experience for me. After my civic service, I spent a few months in Taiwan to continue learning Chinese and then ended up back in Marseille to contribute to Eurasia net’s development as Youth Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship Project Manager. For 3 years, I coordinated international civic service volunteer programs, and developed projects with local partners to participate in the region’s youth dynamic and enable young people to get involved in solidarity projects. I was also able to manage Erasmus+ projects focusing on innovation and social entrepreneurship, which helped raise awareness of social and environmental alternatives among young people and develop the Eurasia net network. Now settled in Toulouse for new adventures, I continue to keep an eye on Eurasia net and lend a hand for a good cause!
Johanna Tarovy
Curious by nature and passionate about different cultures, particularly Asian, I had the opportunity to be accompanied by Eurasia net during my first international volunteering. During this adventure, I went to Greece, to Ioannina, in the association Youth Center of Epirus (https://www.yce.gr/en/international-volunteers/johanna/) in 2015/2016.
I was able to successfully rally my studies and my civic service in the same year, thanks to the encouragement of the members. During my volunteer work, I learned from others and from myself.
That’s why today, I’m proud to continue my adventure as an administrator with Eurasia net. I currently have a degree in Human Resources, and I’m happy to share my knowledge.
Sophie Soldini
After high school, I wanted to live an experience abroad, and I was lucky enough to be selected to go on a civic service in Indonesia thanks to Eurasia net.
I spent 8 months volunteering in Indonesia and 4 months in Marseille with Eurasia net’s events team.
I loved being involved with the association and I was able to develop a lot of skills and qualities that I use every day.
Today, I’m doing a degree in English-Chinese with a specialization in International Business in Aix-en-Provence, and I’m very happy to have been able to join the Eurasia net Board of Directors so that I can stay in touch with the association and its future projects.
Laurie Sanchez
I first came across Eurasia net when I was looking for opportunities for young people abroad. Following several volunteer experiences in Cambodia, Spain and Greece, I wanted to add to my studies in anthropology by gaining experience in project management and contributing to the development of an association in Marseille, and it was at Eurasia Net that I was able to do my civic service. During my 9 months with the team, I was able to develop both professionally and personally.
On my return from Armenia, where I was able to complete my civic service, I was eager to continue the adventure. Today, as a member of the Board of Directors, I hope to contribute to enabling other young people to enjoy the wonderful experiences offered by Eurasia net projects.
Sarah Lieven
After obtaining a master’s degree in European politics, I was able to go to Malaysia for 3 months for the end of my civic service, and I want to extend my link with Eurasia net and follow the association’s projects.
I’m always interested in language exchanges and volunteering abroad, and I’m delighted to be part of the Eurasia net family, which has enabled me to strengthen my professional skills and do the Bluebook internship at the European Commission in Brussels. It was a really fulfilling experience and I fell in love with Brussels.
Now back in the south of France, I’m working in the field of digital education at the Montpellier education authority. In the future, I’d like to potentially return to Brussels to work in a youth association or have another experience in the field of European policy.
Millie Levien Morlaes
In 2017, I discovered Eurasia Net, marking my first steps in the voluntary sector and international mobility. That same year, I took off for Cambodia, near the temples of Angkor, in Siem Reap. For me, internationality and interculturality represent an invaluable asset, which explains why these dimensions continue to permeate each of my jobs.
Today, I’m in charge of coordinating an international network of silk cities within the Lyon Metropolitan Council’s International Cooperation Department. At the same time, I’m involved in a number of youth projects focusing on solidarity in Lyon, with the aim of participating in current developments while exchanging and learning alongside other young people.
Marwan Sarout
I discovered Eurasia net in 2017, when I was doing a French-international civic service. I then wanted to give others the chance to have an international volunteering experience. So that’s how I joined the EurasiaNet salaried team in 2018.
After 2 years, I decided to move on to a different world, so I turned to agriculture and specifically to farm bakery. After a few experiences on different farms and some training, my life took another turn.
I decided to get closer to my origins and combine the different skills I’d acquired through all these experiences by getting involved with a farm-school association in Lebanon.
Rayima Ammad
I joined the Eurasia net team as a volunteer communications officer in 2022. I had just graduated with a master’s degree in information and communication, specialising in digital and editorial communication.
After nine months in-house, I flew to Malaysia for the end of my civic service. It was a trip that taught me so much and helped shape the person I am today.
I’m very grateful for everything that Eurasia net has been able to offer me, the opportunities, the people I’ve met and everything it has taught me. So it was with great enthusiasm that I joined the Board of Directors, so that I could maintain a link with Eurasia net and do my best to contribute to the association’s development!
Romain Lo Monaco
In 2021, after months of COVID and confinement, I discovered Eurasianet and joined its team as a Civic Service volunteer. This experience opened the door to volunteering, international mobility and Erasmus. After my civic service, I went on to do a CES in Poland for just over a year. Back in France, I decided to share what I’d learned with Eurasia about mobility, and I started working as an international mobility officer for apprentices. For over 2 years now, I’ve been offering work placements to the 2,300 apprentices in the Académie de Nice and developing partnerships in Europe and beyond.
Two years ago, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Eurasianet. This event rekindled my memories of volunteering, and I decided to join the Board of Directors to give back to the association that has helped me so much and played such a central role in my career. Before Eurasianet, I was a bit lost, with no clear idea of what I wanted to do. Volunteering with this association revealed to me that mobility, project management, support and youth are the areas I’m really passionate about.
Primavera Gomes Caldas
Working in the cultural field in Marseille, I have a keen interest in issues of emancipation, social justice and the place of audiences in cultural institutions.
I’ve been involved with Eurasia Net for 10 years, first as a volunteer, then as a volunteer/project leader, and I’m now working as a director for an association in which young people can see themselves reflected and contribute to change.
Daryl Bongwele
During my studies for a Master’s degree in Applied Foreign Languages, which focused on the management of humanitarian and cultural projects, I had the opportunity to do some voluntary work with Eurasia Net, which gave me the chance to discover international mobility and meet people from all over the world.
With them, I was in turn able to introduce young people in the region to international mobility by organising and running a number of language and cultural exchange workshops. I then continued to take part in a number of events organised by the association, and finally decided to join the Board of Directors to play a small part in the development of the organisation.
Alexis Miss
I first came across Eurasia Net in 2022, when I was completely new to the field as I had just finished a degree in Geography and Regional Planning.
I spent 9 months as an internal volunteer and had a really great experience working with some great people. Then I was able to go to Indonesia for 3 months as part of my hybrid contract, which was an incredible experience that I’ll never forget.
Since then I’ve always kept a certain link with the association and being part of the board of directors is a logical next step.
Today I’m in my 2nd year of a Master’s degree specialising in the Environmental Transition of Territories, near Toulouse.
in Toulouse. I don’t yet know exactly what I want to do next, but having a job that’s
meaningful and rewarding work is essential for me. The international aspect is also exciting, so it remains to be seen whether there will be any opportunities.
