EYID 2022: Youth Information empowers you(th)
2022 will be a year dedicated to youth. A year dedicated to those who restricted their desire to conquer the world for the social good. Young people are the future of Europe, but have a lot to say about today's present!
In a year in which both the European Commission and the Council of Europe will focus their efforts on giving young people's needs and rights a voice and bringing them to the forefront, the European Youth Information and Counselling Agency could not be less.
ERYICA will rely on the European Youth Information Day campaign 2022 to advocate for young people's right to information. Apart from giving access to other rights, the right to information is a powerful tool to enhance participation and preserve democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms.
We live in an increasingly divided society, and misinformation makes this breach deeper and deeper. Young people, as agents of change, have the right to be informed objectively and reliably, as well as the duty to make their opinions heard and to become responsible producers of content.
The EYID 2022 will highlight the crucial role that youth information services play in providing tailored information to young people, which help them actively participate in public life and access their rights. The campaign will make a special effort to reach those with fewer opportunities or vulnerable situations. The future is built by all of us, and access to quality information is the first step to achieving it!
