Goals / Remit
The mission of the Terre des Hommes International Federation (TDHIF) is to provide active support to children and youth, without racial, religious, political, cultural or gender-based discrimination. Through our development and humanitarian programs, we work to protect children from poverty, violence and exploitation. TDHIF pledges to support child and youth participation and empowerment, to facilitate and promote meaningful engagement in policy discussions at local, national and global levels. In their own countries and regions, the Terre des Hommes member organisations bring to the attention of the public, including children and young people, the causes of inequalities, together with the rights of the child. They advocate appropriate governmental policies and undertake fund raising activities to achieve their objectives. The International Secretariat ensures coordination among the TDH member organisations and representation at international and EU level.

Meetings
Meetings
6 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
