Louise
Rasera
Project Manager
With a master's degree in international cooperation and multilingual communication, she has a solid background in political science, focusing on international relations. Her commitment to social justice and the fight against global inequalities - particularly in relation to global warming - led her to become involved in development aid and humanitarian work before pursuing a career in politics. Louise worked extensively with associations in France (Amnesty International, Maison de l'écologie de Provence, Uniscité) before deciding to move abroad. Mindful of her impact on local communities and the environment, she spent more than two years carefully considering this decision before taking the plunge. Curious, honest and collaborative, she thrives in multicultural teams and is ready to drive change.
Louise joined the Y4CN network in November 2025 as a project manager and is one of the catalysts participating in the LP4Y ecosystem based in the Philippines. During her mission, she hopes to establish new exchange projects between NGOs promoting youth inclusion and develop strong local support networks to ensure better coordination of projects across different regions.
