Silvia Parisi
European Projects Communication Expert
Rome
Summary
With over 15 years of experience in institutional communication and European projects, I bring a strong background in stakeholder engagement, strategic communication, and public outreach—particularly in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. My career has centered on fostering collaboration between public institutions, civil society, and international partners, including in civil protection and risk communication contexts.
I have led public consultations and engagement activities across various European initiatives, including the IPA Floods and Fires program and Erasmus+ projects. My ability to synthesize stakeholder feedback into actionable communication strategies has been key to shaping policy-aligned messaging. I also have experience preparing high-quality communication materials such as press releases, infographics, presentations, and policy-focused content, while managing media relations across national and regional levels.
Fluent in English and with a very good knowledge of digital platforms and social media, I have designed and implemented multi-channel campaigns and managed visibility and outreach for EU-funded projects. My role in capacity building—training peers, developing engagement strategies, and supporting institutional communications—equips me to contribute effectively to both planning and execution.
At this stage in my career, I am eager to take on new international challenges where I can apply my communication skills, cultural awareness, and strategic thinking to support policy development and stakeholder collaboration at a broader level.
