Exploring further the information needs of young people in the mobility domain, the Eurodesk Youth Information Survey 2025 offered an opportunity to rate usefulness of various types of information related to learning mobilities. There are only very slight differences in the priorities shared by German youth and priorities outlined by their peers from other countries, and the overall summary (see Figure 19) shows that all of the information types are rated as highly useful by German youth.
Figure 19: Summary overview of overall usefulness of information types, among German youth.
Note: Sum of "Very useful" and "Useful" options is used as the indicator of the overall usefulness. The question read “What kind of information related to going abroad would you find helpful to receive?”.
Furthermore, young people were also invited to share their views on the usefulness of different methods of receiving information. In this case, similarly to the one above, German youth does not significantly differ from their peers in other countries. The summary overview (see Figure 20)
