Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is the biggest student association in Europe. This network created in 1989 and approved by the European Commission, now has 526 sections in 40 countries.
Its missions are to assist and develop student exchanges, to support cultural understanding and personal development of students through these exchanges.
We are in charge of the welcoming and integration of Erasmus and international students, as well as the promotion of the European mobility program. Most of our volunteers have already studied abroad, so they understand the difficulties that newcomers can encounter.
ESN DeVinci is the association in charge of welcoming international students coming to Leonard DeVinci schools (either ESILV, EMLV, IIM).
We work in close collaboration with the International Relations Department of our school to bring you the best events and integration.
At ESN DeVinci, we believe that every student's international experience should be filled with excitement, cultural exchange, and lifelong friendships. Our passionate team of student volunteers is dedicated to making your time with us unforgettable.
We strive to provide a strong support network, engaging social events, and meaningful cultural experiences that transcend borders. With ESN DeVinci, you have a gateway to explore, connect, and thrive during your study abroad journey!
Our association is run by a team of dedicated students who are enthusiastic about making a positive impact on the lives of international students at Leonard DeVinci schools. Let us introduce you to our board members:
President: Quentin TARNAU
😎 Quentin (aka Italian boy 🍝) is the one in charge here. He knows and sees everything, but only so that everything goes as well as possible.
🎓 As President of ESN DeVinci, his role is to provide strategic leadership and direction, by working closely with our Board Members, Volunteers, School Direction, and any other stakeholders of ESN.
✨ Quentin is committed to empower your student experience, and allow you to blend and create unforgettable memories of Paris with locals!
🇮🇹 As the lover of Italy that he is, he will never stop talking about this beautiful country and its culture. A fan of Italian music and food, he will be able to find you the best addresses!
❓ Any tricky question? Yes he looks like a grandpa but hey! He’s full of energy that’s for sure!
Vice President: Chloé Serri
🕺Born and raised in Paris (well, the suburbs), Chloé knows all the best spots to have fun, get immersed in culture and enjoy a true parisian lifestyle. She will be the Vice-President of our wonderful association this year to assist the President in his duties!
🫡Technically a veteran of ESN DeVinci as she has been part of it for 4 years now, she will be here to make sure your time with us will be a smooth sailing and to address any questions or concerns you may have!
😎Almost never without her sunglasses no matter the weather, she will try as much as possible to bring you fun & sunshine. If you can’t wait to visit museums, brunch at a terrasse and then enjoy Paris’ nightlife, then rest assured, you’re in good hands with Chloé!
💜She loves meeting new people, learning more about new cultures and she can’t wait to put her skillful English and somewhat okay German to use!
She’s looking forward to making your experience with us unforgettable and hopes you’ll have a blast in Paris🚀🎆
Secretary: Sarah Bounass
Sarah (aka Mother 😌) is the secretary at ESN DeVinci for this year. Her role is to make sure that all the information is transmitted to the other members and to the international students. She also takes care of the organisation within the association and all the administrative part. She works a lot with Quentin, the President of ESN DeVinci 🥸
😇 Sarah is a student of the business school EMLV in her second year. She enjoys going out with her friends, meeting new people and she loves to talk (a lot 😉). She would like to travel a lot to discover as many landscapes as possible !
Sarah speaks french, english and un poco de arabian 🇩🇿 (and she’s keen to learn new languages thanks to you !!)
She can’t wait to meet you all during the semester and she hopes that you will love your Parisian life during these few months 🤩
Treasurer: Luis POUJOL
Luis (Uncle Scrooge🦆) is proud to be this year's treasurer at ESN De Vinci and will make sure our team can organise as many events as possible, preferably without our school going bankrupt in the process 😉
He studies at the engineering school and can speak English, French and German. He’s Filipino French with a Canadian passport and have been to almost every continent so don't worry, he loves meeting new people with different backgrounds.😎 He can't wait for you guys to arrive and hopes you have an amazing year here in Paris.
