On 9 February, ALDE Party welcomed Raphael Burchard to the ALDE Party Secretariat as our new Events Trainee, as part of the Communication Unit.
Raphael is German and grew up in Brussels, an experience that shaped his strong connection to European culture and politics. He attended the Vrije Universiteit Brussels to obtain both his Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Political Science.
He previously worked for the Exhibition Centre of the European Commission, where he gained experience in supporting and organising institutional events. Raphael is a committed and passionate European with a strong interest in fostering cooperation and dialogue across the continent.
He is excited to contribute to organising large-scale events at ALDE Party and looks forward to supporting initiatives that bring people together and promote liberal democratic values.
