Who we are
As the voice of citizens, the European Parliament stands for European democracy. The Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM) amplifies its message of the Parliament to reach every corner of Europe. We help connect Members of Parliament (MEPs) to the people they represent, and we communicate what the Parliament is, what it does, and what it stands for. When Parliament speaks, we make sure it’s heard.
We are committed communication professionals coming from various professional and academic backgrounds.
The Directorate for Liaison Offices is DG COMM'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 COMM. 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 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.
