Who we are
The European Parliament stands for European democracy. We help connect it to people.
This entails providing complete and impartial information to citizens and media about the European Parliament, and assisting Members in their communication activities. The Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM) strives to reach and engage the right audience with the right message at the right time and in doing so, deliver world-class communication. We are committed communication professionals coming from various professional and academic backgrounds.
The Directorate for Liaison Offices is DG Communication's front line in the Member States. The Offices connect to citizens across the European Union, engaging with their concerns, understanding their cultures and speaking their languages, in order to make that vital connection between the European Parliament and the diverse local realities it represents. The Offices are playing a crucial role in spreading the knowledge of what the European Parliament is working on and has achieved as well as engaging with citizens and various stakeholders.
The European Parliament Office in Sweden is part of DG Communication. Our mission is to inform those living in Sweden about the political and legislative work of the European Parliament, with focus on the Swedish Members. We do this by arranging digital and hybrid seminars, teacher trainings and press activities. Moreover, we provide information through our digital channels and nurture an active community through our network of volunteers: www.tillsammansieuropa.eu.
We are nine people in the Stockholm Office working towards different target groups.
