Brussels, October 2025
AEGEE-Europe is pleased to introduce the new members of its Secretariat team, who will be supporting the organisation’s projects, communications, and fundraising efforts over the coming months. Based at the AEGEE office in Brussels, the Secretariat plays a key role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day functioning of the European level, while also contributing to the long-term development of the network and its external impact.
As of this autumn, the Secretariat is composed of three dedicated individuals who bring energy, professionalism, and a shared commitment to European youth work.
Diana Badea – Projects Officer & Alumni Relations Responsible
Diana joins the team as Projects Officer and Alumni Relations Responsible. In this dual role, she will coordinate the implementation of ongoing European projects while also serving as a bridge between AEGEE-Europe and its alumni network. Her responsibilities include project management, stakeholder communication, reporting, and supporting activities involving AEGEE’s broader community of former members. Diana brings prior experience in youth work and event coordination, and her work will be key in fostering both institutional continuity and strategic growth.
Alice Gastaldi – Projects and Fundraising Trainee
Alice takes on the position of Projects and Fundraising Trainee, supporting the development and implementation of AEGEE’s European projects. Her work will focus on assisting in grant writing, identifying new funding opportunities, and supporting project delivery through logistical and administrative contributions. Alice brings with her an academic background in international relations and a strong interest in youth empowerment and civic engagement. Her work will contribute to diversifying AEGEE’s funding portfolio and ensuring sustainable support for the network’s initiatives.
Mónica Romão – Communications Trainee
Mónica joins the team as Communications Trainee, where she will support AEGEE-Europe’s internal and external communication efforts. This includes producing content for the organisation’s digital channels, coordinating outreach campaigns, and ensuring consistent messaging across platforms. With a background in communication & multimedia studies and experience in digital media and design, Mónica will play an important role in amplifying AEGEE’s voice both within the network and in external contexts, from social media to institutional outreach.
We welcome our new Secretariat members and look forward to the positive contributions they will make in their respective roles. Their presence marks an important step in advancing AEGEE’s strategic priorities and supporting the ongoing work of the network.
