See you next year, Time To Move! 

 
Eurodesk's flagship campaign, Time to Move, came to its last day (no worries, just for this year) and we couldn't be happier of the results achieved. Over 1000 events took place on the European continent and more: from Iceland to the Réunion island in the Indian Ocean! Countless youngsters got informed and inspired about thrilling opportunities abroad. The amount of events and the 31 countries involved are both a record for the initiative! 

What about the Time To Move T-shirt design contest? We received over 300 submissions and we couldn't help but notice the greater engagement of this year, in terms of page views and votes, compared to the previous one.

We are looking forward to sharing with you all the artworks created by the young Europeans in order to select and proclaim the 3 winners of this year.

Thank you all for the impressive involvement and stay tuned!

Mobility and the Role of Youth Information - Eurodesk Survey 2019
 

 
The second edition of the Eurodesk survey shows trends and preferences of how young people find, engage with and perceive youth information about mobility opportunities. The report focuses on understanding young people’s preferences and identifying what stakeholders in the field of learning mobility can do to better reach out to youth.


The Eurodesk Survey is a project of Eurodesk. It is an online European-wide survey, carried out and published by Eurodesk Brussels Link. The 2019 edition reached 3495 respondents from 34 countries in Europe, targeting people from 15 to over 30 years old. The survey aims to gather the experiences of mobile and non-mobile youth and young adults, researching different aspects related to access to information and learning mobility.
