Mobility experience satisfaction and impact The Eurodesk Youth Information Survey 2025 also offered those who went abroad in 2022 or 2023 an opportunity to share what specifically they gained because of that experience. All in all (see Figure 44), German young people show high levels of developments across many different areas, with the most pronounced being increased awareness of other cultures and values, boost in self- confidence, increase in open-mindedness, stimulations in foreign language domain, and feeling inspired to share their experiences with others.
Figure 44: Summary overview of developments in young people who went abroad for a mobility experience in 2022 or 2023, among German youth.
Note: Sum of "Strongly agree" and "Agree" options is used as the indicator of the overall preferences. The question read “Do you agree or disagree that taking part in these activities…”.
German young people show the same or very similar levels of developments in many areas, such as increase in awareness of other cultures and values, in curiosity about foreign languages, in self-confidence, in a desire to live abroad, in employability, in being open-minded, in involvement in political affairs, in making friends, or in sharing experiences with others. There were, however, some domains in which German youth claimed less impacts than their peers in other countries (see Figure 45). These areas of development include engagement in social matters (72% of German youth versus 85% of their peers abroad), enhanced sense of European identity (80% versus 91%), interest in European topics (75% versus 89%).
