L’équipe de coordination de Dulala
Anna Stevanato
Founder and director
Anna Stevanato is a bilingualism-specialized linguist and mother of three Franco-Italian children. She completed her studies by undergoing a social and cultural organization management training at the CNAM’s Social Economy Center (Cestes), for which she wrote a participatory research thesis on the acknowledgement of native languages and cultures as integration factors. After staying in Russia and Spain, Anna arrived in France where she first taught Italian for an association, then in an elementary school, which made her realize that the plurilingual skills of many pupils weren’t rightly acknowledged. Thus, Dulala was born.

Magali Alphand
Workshop manager
Magali’s first love lies in acting. Throughout highschool, preparatory class and college, she dedicated herself to the practice and study of drama and thus started visiting schools to animate workshops, crossing paths with language awareness in the process. After one year spent making multiple interventions for Dulala and many new plurilingual “Hello”s later, she went through the looking glass!

Corinne Héloïse
Administrative and accounting officer
As a child, she dreamed of being a private investigator; as a teen, numbers became her hobbyhorse; as an adult, she became passionate about accounting and made it into a career in the private field. Today, Corinne is discovering a brand new universe: the associative sector where harmony, communication, and mutual respect are values enabling each and everyone to grow and to blossom.

Laly Wehbe
Project manager
After completing a Master’s degree in language education, which sparked her curiosity about the link between language learning and children’s literature, Laly went back to her schoolbooks, pens and children’s books and proceeded studying the question in the framework of a Master’s degree in youth literature. In the meantime, she pursued her studies in Finland, taught French in Ireland and read a million stories in a kindergarten and elementary school in Val d’Oise, always careful to add in a touch of language awareness. In 2021, Laly joined Dulala’s team to help bring a fresh wind of plurilingualism on the country of lights!

Caroline Natali
Trainer in Ile-de-France

A Spanish teacher, she also worked for 15 years in the French cultural network promoting the French-speaking world and obtained a Master’s degree in linguistic policies along the way. She has just settled down in Ile-de-France to sow the seeds of linguistic diversity with Dulala. In addition to the challenges of multilingualism, she is very interested in children’s literature, especially in the forms and uses of children books in a multilingual context..
