Civil Diplomat Evelyne Valencia in Udine Est – Di Giusto

Civil Diplomat Evelyne Valencia has been elected coordinator of Participatory Neighbourhood Council 3, representing Udine Est – Di Giusto in north-eastern Italy.

Valencia was elected during a meeting at the former Osoppo barracks on Via Brigata Re.

Her appointment gives her responsibility for helping coordinate dialogue among residents, local organisations and public institutions.

A Leader already connected to the community

Valencia is also involved with Time for Africa, an organisation active in supporting local communities.

According to the newspaper, she had already become a recognised point of reference within the district.

This experience gives her new position a practical foundation.

It brings together community listening, institutional dialogue and cooperation around the concerns that shape daily life in the neighbourhood.

The council provides a structured space for residents and organisations to present proposals, discuss priorities and contribute to local decision-making.

Civil Diplomacy through local participation

For Civil Diplomat Evelyne Valencia, the appointment extends Humanitarian Civil Diplomacy into everyday civic life.

It places cooperation close to the people affected by local decisions.

Across Europe, Civil Diplomacy gains meaning when it strengthens trust, participation and constructive dialogue.

Valencia’s work in Udine offers a clear local expression of that principle.

Her new responsibility also shows how humanitarian leadership can operate beyond major international forums.

Sometimes, its most visible impact begins in a neighbourhood meeting, where listening becomes practical action.

Within Jethro Civil Diplomacy, her appointment reflects leadership rooted in service, local presence and shared responsibility.

Through this role, Evelyne Valencia will help shape local dialogue while carrying the principles of civil diplomacy into public participation.

Messaggero Veneto reported the appointment under the headline “Nuova coordinatrice per Udine Est–Di Giusto: è Evelyne Valencia”.
