Why does it correspond to the thematic category:

The International Mobility Youth Office (IMYO) is a service that we offer at the Youth Information and Advice Center aimed at promoting and improving all services and programs that inform, guide and advise the young population on the different mobility opportunities. The Youth Information Service of the Youth Area develops its service from a user-centered approach. This means that the Youth Information and Advice Center (CIAJ) adopts the demands and needs of its young users as a starting point.The Office also provides information and informative material from a wide variety of sources, from its own publications, dissemination of information from INJUVE, the Eurodesk network and other organizations that promote activities and opportunities in favor of young people.We consider that (IMYO) has the following characteristics: It is expressly created to respond to the needs of young people. It is open without exception to all young people, and without the need for an appointment. Provides information using very varied information media, aimed at young people in general, and at those groups of young people who have specific needs. The information provided is practical, pluralistic and updated regularly.To achieve our objectives, a series of procedures have been implemented that have resulted in highly positive results and a great impact on the local young population.

How it ensured the visibility and promotion of Eurodesk:

Our main objective is to bring these resources closer to youth in a close, equal, visual, experiential, dynamic and participatory way, so we establish an organized and systematic methodology that allows them to have a broad vision of reality and control or decide. about what affects them.Eurodesk appears in each and every new one of our publications. It is part of the corporate image of our Young Mobility Office.Our multiplier point is visually identified as a eurodesk point since our accession to the Network.In each of our publications: #eurodek, #SomosEurodesk, #TimeToMove2023

How it respected the green principles:

The International Mobility Youth Office is committed to launching this type of mobility-related activities, which is essential to continue contributing to development objectives.The protection of self-esteem and the development of the intellectual and emotional potential of young people are a responsibility that affects all social actors. Another of the thematic lines that is intended with the implementation of this project falls precisely within that of offer the young population the opportunity to overcome and face, through mobility opportunities, the possibility of improving, learning and strengthening self-confidence.Our actions are not isolated, we fit them within various programs that the Rinconada Youth Area has been working on through a Youth Plan 2022-2025 that involves all municipal areas in improving the quality of life and youth mental health, as well as youth participation.Among the main indicators of this quality of life are, without a doubt, the commitment to the environment, sustainable development and mobility, the implementation of green, leisure and recreation areas for citizens or the commitment to reduce the footprint ecological for future generations
