Introduction: On June 16th 2010 the Council of Ministers adopted Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)8 on Youth Information. This Recommendation is an important follow up of Recommendation (90) 7 on information and counselling for young people in Europe .
In February 2010 the partnership between the Council of Europe and ERYICA published the Youth Information Starter Kit as a supporting tool for those who are interested in setting up and developing Youth Information in their country.
