4. Basic questions before training
What is the goal of Youth Work?
What does the society expect from Youth Information and Counselling Services?
 influence on the needs of competencies and skills needed in YI work
What kind of competences and skills do Youth Information Workers need to ensure quality Youth Information services that are based on young people´s information needs?
Do we have enough research-based information about what kind of competence is needed?

5. Why ERYICA network organise training
Lack of basic and additional training in Youth Information in our member countries
Training and education + competences and skills ensure that services are designed in a way that all young people have equal access to quality Youth Information.
Youth information is not included in Youth Work Training curricula in every European country
 ERYICA has an crucial role in providing non-formal training to YI workers in our member countires.
