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 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 European Parliament Liaison Office in Luxembourg is DG Communication’s front line in Luxembourg. The Office connects to citizens across the country, 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 Office is 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. If you are passionate and enthusiastic about Europe, come and apply for a traineeship possibility in the Office that runs one of the largest Europa Experience visitors centre.
