European Youth Information Charter

The Charter, first adopted in 1993, is a set of professional principles and guidelines for youth information and counselling work across Europe.

Youth Information principles, standards, & quality measures

In 1993, the ERYICA General Assembly adopted the European Youth Information Charter. Since then, the Charter has become a reference in Europe as a set of professional principles and guidelines for youth information and counselling work.

It applies to all forms of generalist youth information work and ensures young people have the right to thorough, reliable and updated information. It is also a basis for minimum quality standards and measures for all countries involved.

The Charter was updated in 2004 and the Principles for Online Youth Information were published in 2009. Both documents merged in 2018, when the Charter was last reviewed.
