Application process Young people were also asked about support they received when drafting their mobility applications. All in all (see Figure 42), German youth mostly did not need any support with their applications, and those who did mostly sought it in their families. Given that the shares of those who went abroad among German youth was the same as among their peers from other countries, it is reasonable to assume that young people from Germany are not negatively affected by not seeking support.

Note: Share of "Yes" answers. The question read “Did you receive some help when drafting your mobility application(s)?”.
German youth did not differ largely from their peers in other countries, with only one exception: receiving help from parents or relatives (38% of the German youth agreed compared to only 15% of young people abroad). For the information services, the importance of a family unit as an information source should be noticed (see Figure 43). German young people also did not differ from their peers in other countries in one important aspect: they enjoyed their mobility stays immensely, with 69% stating it was an amazing experience, and further 26% describing it as a good experience. German young people would also be just as likely as their peers from other countries to encourage others to go for a mobility experience, which further signals high satisfaction levels. In total, 97% agreed that they would encourage others to go for a mobility experience of their own.
