The ideology of Darréu focuses on building a project based in youth activism to call for the recognition of Asturias as a nation and for the social rights of the working class.
Nevertheless, since 20 December 2014, Darréu has decided to break the formal links with Andecha Astur becoming an independent organization after some years of nonexistent relations.
Some of their most known activities are the Asturies nun escaez ("Asturias does not forget") commemorative concerts of the Asturian October 1934 Revolution, which from 2006 are integrated in the Día de la Mocedá Revolucionario ("Day of Revolutionary Youth").
From its foundation, the organization also participates in the manifestations of the Day of the Asturian Nation of Andecha Astur and in the one of First of May that is launched by SUATEA, CSI (Left Uninon Tendency) and CGT.
Darréu publishes the Írguite (Rise up) magazine, written totally in Asturian language, which features both cultural and political contents.
