Youth information in motion

‘Youth information in motion’ (“La información juvenil se mueve”) is a project developed in Galicia, Spain. It aimed to address the problem of a lack of information about youth programmes and activities in rural areas. The practice used an atypical dissemination method, which included visiting young people living in rural areas to directly provide them with information. This approach proved to be very effective as it enabled the project to provide information directly to its audience and respond with personal feedback to the questions raised by the young people. In this way, project staff were better placed to promote the various education possibilities available for youths and to motivate young people to take part in them.
