WiPA Brussels - Lunch and Learn

A practical WiPA Brussels Lunch & Learn for women to unpack day-to-day lobbying, share experiences, and build confidence and connections.

Building confidence, skills, and connections in Brussels public affairs.

As part of WiPA Brussels’ 2026 programme, this Lunch & Learn session offers a practical, supportive space for women to unpack what lobbying really looks like in day-to-day EU policymaking. The focus is on sharing experience, learning by doing, and creating space for open conversation - in a setting designed to be informal, inclusive, and peer-led.

Through a discussion and extended Q&A, we’ll explore how to approach lobbying with clarity and confidence: how to structure engagement, understand the unwritten rules, navigate ethical boundaries, and build trusted relationships with institutions and stakeholders over time. A light lunch will also be provided.

Participants will leave with:

• a clear, practical view of the full lobbying cycle,
• tangible tips they can apply immediately in their own roles, and
• new connections within the WiPA community to support ongoing learning and exchange.

Whether you are early in your public affairs career or looking to refine your approach, this session is designed as a space to ask questions, share perspectives, and learn from one another in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

This is on a first come first served basis, there are 24 spaces available!
