Ukrainian displaced youth: Identifying information needs and aspirations

In the period from 20 April to 31 July 2022, the European Youth Information and Counselling Agency (ERYICA) and the Ukrainian Center in Barcelona, Spain (project of the Association of Ukrainians “Djerelo”) surveyed 358 Ukrainian youth between 13-35 years old. The survey method combined face-to-face and online surveying.  Over 70% of respondents were women, and 70% were between 15-25 years old. The data gathered was analysed by experts from the Ukrainian community. The conclusions and recommendations have been drawn in cooperation with ERYICA. 

The survey highlights six areas in which it is crucial for youth information and counselling services to be active and aware, followed by our recommendations to support the transition of young refugees to adulthood more effectively and their involvement and integration in the hosting communities. This study is just a first milestone of a series of further actions that we believe will need to take place to ensure a successful youth information response to the needs of young refugees, not only from Ukraine but also from other geographies.

The study has been developed in the framework of the Partnership Agreement between the Council of Europe and ERYICA.
