1. What is the Eurodesk Youth Info Survey 2025? The Eurodesk Youth Info Surveys are conducted regularly in order to provide insights into the domain of youth mobility information. The previous surveys were conducted in 2017 (Sabuni 2018), in 2019 (Sabuni 2019), in 2022 (Bárta 2022), and this latest one in 2024 (Bárta 2025). The full international report, titled Eurodesk Youth Info Survey 2025 (further referred to as the main report 2025), has already been published, and we invite you to browse through it online or in a hard copy, as it provides insights from 7144 respondents between 13 and 35 years of age residing in one of the countries of the EU mobility schemes, such as Erasmus+ or the European Solidarity Corps. This report does not reiterate the general findings from the main report 2025; it focuses solely on exploring views of the 1878 young people from Germany who filled in the survey. Its purpose is to identify their specific needs and experiences, as well as the challenges they face. This is achieved by comparing the German youth with the young people from all other countries, and by presenting Germany-specific summary results. Comparing these two groups shows in what areas the German young people voice the same opinions as their peers from other countries, and where their views differ, while the summary results provide an overview of results focusing solely on German youth 1 . It needs to be noted that while the German sample is very similar in terms of respondent backgrounds (e.g., minority background, size of settlement where young people lived, etc.), to the overall sample of young people from other countries, there is one exception which may have affected the results presented in this report. The German sample consist almost exclusively of young people aged 16 to 23. A Sample of young people from other countries also includes young people 13-15 years old (6% in comparison with 0% in case of the German sample), and young people 24-35 years old (26% in comparison with 3% in the German sample). It is therefore reasonable to read this report as only relating to German young people aged 16 to 23, and to keep this in mind when considering any differences presented therein. This differences in the age profile of the European sample and the German national sample might have resulted from the way the respondents were recruited for the survey in Germany. Eurodesk Germany promoted the survey in its newsletter for young people. The newsletter statistics show that 2,463 young people clicked on the link to the survey, suggesting many of the respondents indeed came from the group of the newsletter recipients. The Eurodesk Germany newsletter started in 2022 and mainly consists of young people who applied to DiscoverEU tickets and subscribed to the newsletter for more information. The young people are mostly eighteen when they apply to DiscoverEU, with a new cohort added each year. Therefore, young people subscribing for the Eurodesk Germany newsletter would be largely in the age group of 18-20 in 2024 when the survey was conducted, influencing the age profile of the German national sample. The findings of this report aim to help youth information services better tailor their approach, thereby improving information delivery and mobility experience of the German youth.
1 All results are rounded to the nearest whole number, and the graphs featured in this report only show results where the differences between the German youth and their peers from other countries are statistically significant.
