DesYIgn focus group report

ahora en español e italiano!

In the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 project DesYIgn (Innovative Youth Information Service Design and Outreach),  a report on the focus group interviews was published in February 2020 in cooperation with Abo Akademi University. It is our pleasure to inform you that the report is now available in Italian and Spanish! We thank Bianca Bresy (Italian version) and Centro Regional de Información y Documentación Juvenil de Madrid (Spanish version) for making the translations possible. 

Eight focus group interviews with young people were carried out across four different countries, which formed the basis for the DesYIgn Focus Group Interview Report. 

This is the first intellectual output from the DesYIgn project. The participating countries were UK (Wales), Spain (regions of Valencia and Madrid), Malta, and Luxembourg. A total of 37 young people; aged between 15 and 29 participated in the in-depth discussions, where they elaborated their everyday information-seeking practices, their level of awareness of the services, their challenges in accessing the services, and how they would prefer using youth information services.

The purpose of the focus groups was to study young people’s information-seeking behaviour, so the knowledge extracted from the study can be used in improving the service design and communication activities of youth information and counselling services. 

The overall aim is to bring changes to the way the services are designed and communicated about, so they match contemporary young people’s information needs and information-seeking practices.
