HENQ Youth Initiative aims its activities towards raising civic awareness and respect towards the value of state independence. HENQ is a network, not an organization, of young individuals, which develops and carries out its programs on an open, informal basis - this is done to involve as much interested youth as possible without burdening them with organizational responsibilities. HENQ focuses on the small things that count - crossing the street at the crossroad under the green light, not littering, participating in elections and public discussions, doing volunteer work. These seem minor aspects, but we believe that by shedding light on their importance and encouraging people to live their life according to such simple points will take us one step further towards a democratic state.

One problem that HENQ addresses is the alienation of society from the idea of the State. This boundary can be toppled by spreading and enforcing the idea that the "state" actually includes everyone within the state, not only the government - hence the expression, We are the State.

HENQ executes its activities mainly through means which are yet unconventional for the Armenian public sphere - flash mobs, poster campaigns, and other forms of artivism (activism through art). This enables the initiative to keep its work energized by youth power and creativity, which is harnessed by a broad, open team of youth and directed towards building a knowledgeable citizenship, which believes that it is a crucial and decisive component of the State.
