ERYICA Quality Label

Each young person has a right to full and reliable information.

This is the central belief behind our work.

There are certain decisions that you will have to make as you go through life – having access to quality information helps you to know your rights, make decisions that suit you best, take action and reach your full potential.

The right to information is an essential part of giving you the ability and power to make your own choices. It is recognised on a national, European and International level e.g. Under Article 17(UNCRC)(2) This is the role that Youth Information plays within the lives of young people.
