Specifically, our activities have targeted initiatives such as the EU Youth Strategy, the Digital Education Action Plan, and the European Green Deal.

Communication Activities

HDRI has undertaken a multifaceted approach to communicate with EU institutions on the targeted policies. This includes organizing virtual policy dialogues and roundtable discussions with key stakeholders, leveraging social media campaigns to raise awareness and gather public input, publishing research papers and policy briefs to share our findings, and actively participating in relevant EU consultations. Our efforts also extend to collaborating with other youth organizations and participating in EU events to ensure a broad and inclusive exchange of ideas. Through these varied communication channels, HDRI aims to contribute substantively to the policy discourse, providing evidence-based insights and youth perspectives for informed decision-making.

Additional Information

In the current financial year, HDRI operates with a minimal budget as our activities are primarily conducted online. We have not yet finalized our first annual accounts, and our estimate of annual costs related to Register activities is 0 EUR. This is due to our recent reestablishment and the nature of our activities, which involve virtual events and collaborations. We plan to seek European funding for upcoming projects currently in the design phase. The absence of a substantial budget at this stage reflects our strategic approach to leverage external funding opportunities for impactful projects aligned with our mission.
