Summary

A PhD in Urban Geography, I have more than 15 years of experience in facilitating city-to-city learning in Eurocities and in transnational peer learning projects funded by DG Migration & Home Affairs (AMIF), Regional Policy (UIA) and Justice (REC/CERV programme).
I have facilitated knowledge transfer and learning in projects coordinated by Eurocities, CEMR, MedCities and individual city councils such as Barcelona and Mataró - predominantly on migrant integration and reception, but also on affordable housing, labour market integration and Roma inclusion. 
I am experienced in applying methods such as peer reviews, communities of practice, thematic benchmarking, mentoring and action learning in city-to-city exchanges; and I am experienced in synthesising trends and providing policy guidance in writing and through videos.
I have a solid understanding of EU policy context in urban and a variety of sectoral policies, but I believe in the potential of Europe's cities to be innovators and not just implementers. I have lived in 4 EU member states and work in 5 EU languages.
Last but not least, I enjoy working with city council staff from across Europe and am a strong believer in the value of well structured, managed and facilitated transnational learning to trigger local change and innovation.

    In order to build more inclusive and resilient societies, local authorities need to ensure that migrant reception and support policies guarantee that migrants overcome obstacles in accessing their rights. The WELDI network empowers local authorities to put human rights at the heart of their efforts to develop dignified and innovative approaches to welcoming newcomers. In achieving this goal, cities of this network work hand in hand with migrants and other residents, as well as with local, national and international partners.
