    Communication activities

    PLATFORMA engages in a dynamic social media strategy by communicating on thematic issues on which decentralised cooperation is active (climate, local governance, health, access to water and sanitation, education, gender equality, local services, local economic development, migration, etc.).
    Core campaigns include (i) the European Days of Local Solidarity (EDLS) - annual campaign, (ii) 2030 Agenda - Localisation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

    Twitter is used as the main social media (https://twitter.com/Platforma4Dev/), as well as Youtube for videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6WYm5PB0xn0SxSUGljXz0Q), and Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/company/platforma4dev/)

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    12 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.
