Eurodesk is proud to announce the release of its latest focus report: Youth Info Survey 2025: Mobility and the Role of Youth Information in the Lives of LGBTQI+ Young People.
Following the broader Eurodesk Youth Info Survey 2025, this dedicated publication dives into the specific needs, experiences, and challenges of the LGBTQI+ youth community. By comparing their realities with those of their peers, the report highlights exactly where belonging to this minority makes a difference, providing crucial insights to help youth information services tailor their support.
Key takeaways from the report
- Young LGBTQI+ individuals are more open to going abroad and are more likely to actually do so than their peers.
- They are highly experienced in searching for mobility information. When looking for opportunities, they heavily prefer practical details on financial aspects (86%) and specific mobility programmes (79%)
- Despite their high interest, young LGBTQI+ people are more likely to face distinct challenges, including financial barriers, mental health problems, social difficulties, and discrimination.
- For young LGBTQI+ people with no mobility experience, some fears are larger than their peers’, namely fear of discrimination, of physical health issues, of unfamiliarity with daily life abroad, of not adapting to a new culture, and of not being supported by their own family.
Understanding these unique realities is crucial for the youth information sector. This report provides concrete insights for creating tailored, inclusive information strategies that support LGBTQI+ youth in confidently accessing opportunities abroad because enjoying a safe and positive mobility should be for everyone!
