EURODESK SURVEY 2018 Youth Information: Supporting You in Going Abroad! EURODESK SURVEY 2018 Youth Information: supporting you in going abroad!

As a European network dedicated to the promotion of learning mobility opportunities and offering free quality information and support to young people and youth professionals, we would like to better understand how you engage with this information. What type of information are you looking for? Which sources are you using? Who do you turn to for advice? The survey is targeted to those of you between 13 and 35 years old. Regardless if you have had, or have not had a mobility experience, we want to hear what you have to say!
