Towards the Youth on the Move card: What is needed to increase the mobility and participation of young people in Europe?

We would like to hear your opinion on youth cards in light of preparations for one of the top 10 targeted actions of the Youth on the Move flagship initiative: the Youth on the Move card. The Youth on the Move card should facilitate both the mobility and participation for all young people.

There are already several cards that currently support young people in different ways, in the field of, for example, mobility or culture, offering discounts, access to information and networking opportunities. The idea behind the YoM card is not to replace these cards, but rather to build on and cooperate with these cards, possibly in the form of a label. This label could add real European value by offering more discounts, access to information and online networks, and new features such as smartcard technology. Hereby giving the cards a practical, social, and legal value for its users (anyone between 13 and 30 years old in Europe).

This consultation is intended to collate input from all stakeholders, in order to get feedback on the use of existing youth cards, to hear about users' experiences with current cards and to learn about expectations for possible new features and challenges for the future Youth on the Move card. The consultation, only 18 questions in English, will take you less than 5 minutes and will be online until 3 June 2011!
