EUYou is a 12-month information measure funded by the European Commission’s DG REGIO. It comprises Blue Door Consulting as the coordinator, with Portfolio.hu and Euractiv.com as the two media platforms producing and cross-sharing editorial and multimedia contents.
The project aims to provide information by producing and disseminating relevant materials and contents online, linked to EU Cohesion policy, including the Just Transition Fund, the Recovery Plan for Europe and the Technical Assistance Instrument. The project will also focus on the EU’s Next Generation Programme, in particular the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
The cooperation between Hungarian news site Portfolio.hu and media network specialised in EU affairs Euractiv.com will provide citizens with up-to-date information about the impact of Cohesion policy. It also aims to increase the number of Hungarians (and Hungarian-speaking communities) who have a solid knowledge about Cohesion Policy, as well as improving media coverage on the impacts and future of Cohesion Policy in Hungary, and in Brussels. Bruxinfo, owned by Blue Door Consulting, will serve as a platform for this, having already been relaunched as a sub-section on Portfolio.hu.
The target audience includes not only readers in Hungary, but also Hungarian speaking communities in neighbouring EU countries and candidate countries such as Serbia and Ukraine. These efforts will also be complementary to Euractiv’s activities to inform stakeholders in Brussels about the achievements of Cohesion policy in Hungary.
The project will also analyse the contribution of EU funding instruments to the European Capitals of Culture programme, as well as the outcomes of the Conference on the Future of Europe and the European Citizens’ Panels. Through questionnaires, the project will be able to adapt its communication strategy, inform audiences, gather stakeholder feedback, measure impact and provide valuable data for policy debates.
