European Youth Information Day in Flanders

Launching new edition Kidsguide, Life@1215 and Youth Guide

They are printed, cutted and packed: the verry fresh informative guides for children, teenagers and youngsters. The last edition needed an update of the content, so we choose a reprint. The shape looks almost the same, only the cover and some format details allows you to see a difference between the latest and the new edition..
But don’t be surprised by the look of it, the information is indeed adapted to the actuality!

These organisations contributed to the update: CJP (Flemish Euro<26 youth card), In Petto, Youthworknet, Children and youth phone, Children’s rights shops.

On the 17th of April the guides are launched officialy. That day is European Youth Information Day, an initiative of Eryica, the European youth information umbrella organisation.. For us the right moment to put youth information in the picture.

Some figures:
430.000 guides were printed: 120.000 Kidsguides, 130.000 Life@1215 and 180.000 Youth guides.
That’s 50 tons and 60 m2 of youth information.
195.000 guides are distributed via “Klasse” (a magazine for pupils) to the 5th year of Primary school, the 2nd and the 5th year of Secundary school.
235.000 guides are still available (for other ways of distribution, eg Youth information centres)
This project costs € 273.000; reprint, update content, lay out, promotion, distribution, updating websites (every guide has a parallel website).
The guides were 77 hours on the printers and there were 182 hours of glueing, stampling and perforating.
