Youth Information in 2020
Which topics are covered by youth information services? The chart below shows the topics that young people are informed about in youth information centres, based on the responses of 33 youth information providers. The topics are not only well-established topics of generalist youth information but also correspond to the needs of young people, as proven by the Future youth information and counselling: Building on information needs and trends survey, which was carried out with the participation of 6,212 young respondents in 18 countries in 2017. The graph shows that there are essential topics covered by virtually every youth information provider in Europe, such as education, training and employment. It also showcases regional differences based on young people’s needs. Such versatility and flexibility are the main assets of youth information work: services follow the same principles and professionalism across Europe, while flexibly (and promptly!) adapting the offer to local needs. This is a key feature not only for providing full and reliable information but also for meeting the expectations and maintaining the interest of the target group.
