→ Lead and develop peer-to-peer youth information activities.
→ Give feedback as an integrated part of the ongoing development of youth information services.
→ Take an active role in the co-design and leadership of youth information services. → Enable young people to contribute to the relevance and quality of youth information
→ Ensure that youth information services can be influenced and led by young people
This compliments the role that access to quality information plays in enabling young people to participate in democratic and civic life. Many different models to support youth participation:
1. Creating youth information with young people
They can influence content creation and become content creators.
2. Involving young people as peer-to-peer educators
They are active in the delivery of youth information.
They can influence decisions about the running of youth information services and their projects.
4. Evaluation, assessment and feedback
They can express their views on the quality of the information they receive.
