Donegal Youth Service are planning to celebrate European Youth Information Day and the birthday of ERYICA’s (The European Youth Information and Counselling Agency) on Monday 17th April.
The event will also celebrate the service’s Quality Label it received from ERYICA.
The European Youth Information Quality Label was developed in the 2019-2020 Council of Europe – ERYICA partnership agreement, to assist young people in finding quality information, in accordance to the European Youth Information Charter. The label tells a young person that any organisation that holds it provides accurate, unbiased and verified information.
This Quality Label is recognition Donegal Youth Service and our Youth Information Centre are particularly proud of and we want to celebrate this great achievement with our community.
The celebration will have food and refreshments on the day as well as other fun activities. We will be kicking off the celebration at 2pm in the Loft and staff will be available for good quality information provision.
The Youth Information Manager Gareth Gibson (pictured above) said: “Our team are really proud of their work and provide accurate and unbiased information whether it’s to visitors of the Youth Information Centre here in Letterkenny or through our online work which includes the YIChat in partnership with SpunOut, Crosscare, Youth Work Ireland and YMCA, so we feel we deserve to celebrate the recognition of our hard work from a Europe wide organisation such as ERYICA”.
“As a Youth Information Officer, I am so pleased and proud that Letterkenny Youth Information Centre has been awarded this recognition of our hard work and ERYICA’s birthday seems an appropriate time to celebrate this achievement. It tells young people that they can rely on the information we provide in our centre and that a particular piece of information is verified, true and unbiased,” said the Youth Information Officer Katarzyna Kurzeja.
You can join us for the celebration on 17th April in the drop-in from 2pm at 16-18 Port Road, Letterkenny or give us a call on 074 91 29630 for more info.
