The S&D Group is the leading centre-left political group in the European Parliament and the second-largest. The S&D Group stands for an inclusive European society based on principles like freedom, equality, solidarity, diversity and fairness.

During my role as a Digital Communications Trainee, I participated in an intensive training program on European institutions, political communication, and public relations, taught by Members of the European Parliament and professionals from the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of the EU, and the European Committee of the Regions. I attended plenary debates, internal meetings, and working sessions with the social media team. Furthermore, I monitored legislative developments at the EU level and produced communication materials for social media dissemination, turning complex EU topics into accessible content for diverse audiences.
