“I believe that being aware of differences (without falling in the trap of stereotyping and
clichés), and being able to acknowledge them as well as our own biases and assumptions
are key elements when working in an organisation like ours.”

Evangelina Blanco Gonzales is programme manager for the EU Delegation in the Gambia and our guest for this episode. She draws upon a life of cross-cultural experiences having lived and worked in many European and non-European countries, but also being part of the cultural melting pots of Brussels, Bruges, and the European Commission. She explores how her Asturian roots (Northern Spain) have led her to this path.
