You are invited to get to know us

I started working at « accueil pédagogique post scolaire « in 2017 as a temporary worker and since 2019 as a contract agent.
These years of work have made me understand that althougt it is little know , our profession as educator occupies a primordial place in the education and future of the children we support.
I decided to join Generation 2004 because I would like to actively participate in improving the working conditions of our service as well as that of our daycare colleagues

I am Nathalie Stano, born in Belgium with an Italian and Turkish background. I am a mother of 2 kids and a passionate dancer also interested in continuous personal development to become the best version of myself. I embarked on this incredible journey as an AST at the European Commission 24 years ago, starting in the Cabinet of a European Commissioner and later transitioning to a role as a Course Manager in HR – Learning & Development.
Over the years, I worked tirelessly and became a Manager in pedagogical content design. After spending two decades helping my colleagues grow both professionally and personally, I realised it was time for a new chapter—one where I could continue using my experience to help and advocate for YOU, my colleagues.
Two years ago, I joined Generation 2004. I am especially committed on maters regarding AST and AST-SC colleagues. Since then, I have been fully dedicated to assisting you, addressing your challenges (case handling, support for self-assessment, appeal against no promotion, in staff meetings with hierarchy, and more), and ensuring your voice is heard and your rights are respected.
I’m not here to make empty promises and I am eager to remain aligned with my professional values in line with our campaign : F.U.T.U.R.E.
What I can guarantee is this: my full energy, unwavering commitment, and versatile skills will remain focused on delivering real results. Together, we can secure the recognition and opportunities you deserve. Let’s make change happen!

Hi, my name is Monia Fanciulletti. I have been a member of Generation 2004 for many years now, working relentlessly to advance its principles and ideals, in which I firmly believe. For the past 3 years I’ve been the First Vice-President of the Central Staff Committee and a member of many joint committees, where our working and living conditions are at stake (promotions, teleworking, health and safety, working space, and more.) Many of you appreciated my advice and concrete support over the years.
As a former official of the Italian Central Bank with a Master’s Degree in International Relations, I deeply believe in a strong EU public administration based on fair working conditions for all staff, where work and private life can be reconciled. I am deeply committed to continue promoting a more human and respectful workplace, where health and wellbeing are at the center and everybody feels at home. I stand for a united Commission staff and a stronger staff representation to make the change happen!
If this resonates with you, vote for me and Generation 2024: together we will shape a better FUTURE!

I have been working in the Commission for more than 20 years, in four different DGs as policy officer, project manager and team leader.
As a proud father of 5, I know how difficult it is conciliating work and private life, and the balance does not seem to improve.
Along my career, I’ve seen our conditions deteriorating, particularly for colleagues recruited after me. Three years ago, I decided to be part of the solution rather than an observer and I joined Generation 2004 team.
I take care of Data privacy; Health and safety at work; European Schools; Career, promotions and appeals; and internal management for our organisation.
What I enjoy most compared to my work as policy officer is that I can meet stakeholders and beneficiaries, because they are colleagues just as you!

Generation 2004 is a genuinely diverse and dynamic team, committed to defending the rights of all staff—especially those in non-permanent positions. Our team fights for fair treatment, transparency, and better career prospects for Contract Agents, temporary agents, AST/SCs, and all underrepresented staff categories.
I am proud to run with Generation 2004 because I believe in fairness, transparency, and equal opportunities for all colleagues.
With over 20 years of experience in the EU institutions, I have worked in HR, finance, and administrative coordination, supporting colleagues with recruitment, salary processing, medical claims, and workplace organisation. Having been both a temporary and contract agent, I understand firsthand the struggles of non-permanent staff—and I am committed to fighting for better conditions, recognition, and opportunities.
Before my career in the EU, I was a teacher in Europe, Africa (Burundi), and the USA. Teaching taught me the importance of fairness, inclusion, and lifelong learning—values I continue to uphold today. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, and swimming—activities that allow me to relax, learn, and stay active. I am married and have two grown-up children, and I strongly believe that work-life balance is essential for everyone.
By voting for Generation 2004, you are choosing a team that cares, fights, and delivers results.

Since joining the Commission in 2011 as an AST official, I have been working in DG TRADE in various functions and became involved in trade relations with important third countries including the United States, Russia and South Korea. I have a legal background as well as valuable previous experience in the private sector. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, travelling and reading.
In 2022, I joined Generation 2004 and became gradually more involved in its activities. In particular, I am active in G2004’s Steering Committee and was appointed as its Secretary, a task which I have very much enjoyed and which has allowed me to already make a practical, substantial contribution to our common objectives. I’ve also been engaged in one of the Steering Committee’s Sub-Committees which deals with a possible reform of our staff regulations, a topic which may become relevant soon. Moreover, I have helped many colleagues with their appraisal and promotion files and will continue to do so.
If elected, I will be strongly committed to defending our statutory rights and preventing their further erosion. I’m concerned about the continuing deterioration of our working conditions, notably for those colleagues who have joined after the latest staff reform of 2014, and for all colleagues especially in the last 5 years.

Currently, I am a policy officer in the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs, and Inclusion at the European Commission and my role involves overseeing financial instruments.
Every three years, we have the opportunity to elect the Local Staff Committee, which serves as our voice within the Commission and addresses issues directly impacting our professional lives.
I firmly believe in the significance of fostering a sense of belonging within our European public service, particularly in a time where rising nationalism threatens to weaken the bond we share as EU citizens. If elected, I pledge to prioritize not only our working conditions but also the nuances of daily life that contribute to our overall well-being. Improvements in our work environment, mobility options, access to kindergartens, and educational facilities for our children can significantly enhance our experience here at the Commission. By supporting my candidacy, you are placing your trust in a motivated colleague who understands the unique challenges we face. My goal is to cultivate an inclusive atmosphere where every voice is valued. I am committed to actively addressing our shared concerns and transforming them into actionable initiatives.

Hello! My name is Paola and I am an AD official and lawyer from Italy. I have a background in legal affairs, with professional experiences in human rights and security topics. I started working at the Commission as an intern, then progressing to interim agent, contract agent and finally an official in 2021. I have worked both in Luxembourg and in Brussels which now is my place of establishment. As a result I have gone through many of the varied different contract types, competitions and experiences within the Commission. Outside my career I enjoy learning Finnish, writing for comedy shows and volunteering for NGOs.
I wish to join the Local Staff Committee because I strongly believe that by having good staff taking care of our future, we can all have a better one. I notice how staff can be so passionate and focused on their work files and how sometimes we ignore topics related to our work environment and our own career perspectives. I would like to change that and to bring a fresh perspective on a solid and fair career within the Commission.

I have worked for 17 years in the Commission in different DGs. I consider myself a “Swiss knife” with skills ranging from communication (as my diploma says) to emergency management.
In my private life, I am the proud father of four children, the proud uncle of 1, and the proud “stepfather” of 3 Indian kids. I am passionate about sports, social events, and volunteering with the NGO I am involved with. These pursuits not only bring me joy but also deepen my commitment to making a positive impact.
Why do I want to apply to the LSC? When I started working for the Commission, I felt like having been recruited by the USS Enterprise of Star Trek: a melting pot of cultures, languages, and experiences. I fell completely in love. The richness of our personnel is unbeatable and the Commission’s biggest asset. While I appreciate the efforts made by the Commission to support its personnel, I am concerned about the erosion of working conditions over the past few years. I have witnessed many, too many, situations lacking transparency, fairness, and respect, as well as instances where the well-being of employees has been compromised. However, I remain optimistic about our collective future, convinced that together, we can navigate the challenges ahead and make the “People First” motto a reality.
I want to become a member of the Staff Committee to have a constructive collaboration with our administration to help them considering “People First” in all their decisions. I believe that our personnel are our greatest asset and that their welfare should be prioritised.

I started working for the European Commission 20 years ago. I am a lawyer by profession and have worked on various legal matters within DG EMPL (labour law, ESF+ EaSI). During my career I took a long period of leave (CCP) to align with my husband’s career and to look after our children. I am a mother of two teenage boys, my family being based in Germany. Whenever I have time for leisure, I enjoy being with friends and family, reading and travelling.
I am interested in the work of the Local Staff Committee because I have been involved in the promotion and appeal exercises for the past three years. I would like to contribute to an even wider range of LSC activities by supporting the Generation 2004 team and serving the needs of colleagues. In recent years I have also benefited from the support of Generation 2004, so I would be happy to help, find solutions whenever needed and be a voice for others’ problems. For this, I would be grateful for your trust and your vote!

Generation 2004 is a genuinely diverse team, comprised of staff representatives who are always ready to provide guidance and support in various situations. I have witnessed this firsthand through my contributions to several committees, such as the Committee for Prevention and Protection at Work (CPPT), the Committee on Equal Opportunities (COPEC), and the one focused on social affairs.
Coming from diverse professional and personal backgrounds—having worked in various private sector environments and having grown up in multiple cultural settings—I deeply value the openness of Generation 2004 and its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. These values strongly resonate with me.
I am eager to continue contributing wholeheartedly, sharing my experience with colleagues, and supporting their professional journeys. Since joining the Commission in 2006, I am now approaching 20 years of service in this Institution, and I am enthusiastic about putting my extensive experience to further use for the benefit of all.

I joined the European Commission in 2014 as part of the first wave of Croats following Croatia’s accession. As a team leader in the IT unit of DG TAXUD, I successfully oversaw seven trans-European customs projects and engaged in customs-related negotiations with countries like Serbia, Montenegro, China, Russia, and Japan. From 2019 to 2023, I was Head of Sector, leading a team of over 65 professionals in the service management sector of DG DIGIT, supporting the European Commission’s corporate systems. This role was incredibly fulfilling, thanks to my talented colleagues and expert team leaders.
In October 2023, I moved to the DG RTD as Deputy Head of the IT unit, focusing on the eGrants and eExperts systems. Working with a team of over 150 professionals, I’ve embraced the challenge of IT systems in the world of EU grants, and it is very satisfying to be able to support digitally this important and visible part of EU R&I policy.
I am running in the these elections because standing against inequality and the misuse of power is an integral part of who I am. Throughout my life, I have been motivated by a strong sense of justice, particularly when it comes to protecting the rights of those in less powerful positions. If elected, I will dedicate myself to fighting for our collective rights, focusing on extending the right to telework from abroad to more than 10 days and raising JSIS reimbursement ceilings.
