Overview
Youth Ambassadors are motivated young people who represent and advocate for young people’s right to information. Besides, ERYICA counts on the participation of young people in our professional development processes. Youth Ambassadors play an active and decisive role in these, namely through peer-to-peer activities, their involvement in national or grassroot organisations, national and international youth events, and participation in ERYICA’s project meetings and development processes. This ensures that the voice of young people is heard whenever new tools and services are developed for them, and that the outcomes of our productions will meet the needs of young people.
