Chiara Piccolo

Head of European Affairs

Chiara grew up in Napoli (Italy) where she internalised the passion, the glee, the energy and the positive attitude of the culture underneath the Vesuvio. She always had a deep interest in pedagogy, philosophy and psychology. She strongly believe that every human being is a world to discover. She always worked with and for children since her early work experience as swimming teacher, and then as community educators in a social cooperative for disadvantaged children. She moved to Brussels on 2006 where she worked as project coordinator for education and training EU funded projects and then focused her work on EU policies for children rights, education, social inclusion and well-being.

She takes care of relationships with EU Institutions and European partners, NGOs and key stakeholders. She oversees the advocacy work and strategy for EU policies on social welfare, well-being, child rights and participation. She is a proud mum of two sons. She talks Italian, English, French and basic Spanish. Send an email to Chiara
