This publication presents the results of the Eurodesk Youth Info Survey 2025, which focused on the information needs of young people, their motivations and experiences with a mobility experience, but also on barriers and challenges.
This survey:
- Ran from October to December 2024
- Collected 7144 valid answers
- Targeted young people aged 13-35 from 36 European countries
As we reflect on the findings of the Eurodesk Youth Information Survey 2025, it is clear that young people continue to view mobility experiences as invaluable to their personal and professional development.
The survey reveals that young people from minority backgrounds, non-binary youth, and those from economically less fortunate circumstances face significant obstacles. These include financial and administrative hurdles, difficulties in making new friends abroad, and a lack of language skills.
The survey also highlights the importance of being present where young people are - in schools, local communities, as well as online. By leveraging online platforms, youth information services can create more inclusive and accessible information strategies that cater to the needs of diverse youth groups.
“This survey not only reaffirms the value of mobility experiences for young people but also underscores the need for tailored support and inclusive strategies. By learning from these findings, we can work towards creating a more equitable and supportive environment that allows all young people to benefit from these enriching experiences.”
- Audrey Frith, Eurodesk Director
