This integration in the Eurodesk Network allows to provide information of interest to young people and to increase the opportunities for participation in themes and projects designed for Youth.
Besides to Eurodesk, the Regional Youth Directorate disseminates the ERYICA network - European Youth Information and Counselling Agency . The Regional Youth Directorate, as a body with responsibilities in the implementation of youth policies, follows the principles of the European Youth Information Charter, defined by ERYICA, a guiding document to ensure young people's access to complete, reliable and up-to-date youth information.
