EYP wish list by Enrique Gallardo Mantas https://padlet.com/enriquegallardo/EYP Reccommendations on how to improve the current EYP and how to make it sexier for young people and youth workers en-us 2017-09-27 06:02:47 UTC 2025-11-13 11:35:11 UTC hello@padlet.com More user-friendly and inclusive format - few young people read articles, most yp just scan texts, therefore i.e. bookmarks and short texts would be great :). EYP should follow current online usability trends among yp. Also plain language needs to be used, avoiding Eurojargon. https://padlet.com/enriquegallardo/EYP/wish/251057826 2018-04-12 09:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/enriquegallardo/EYP/wish/251057826 young people are often commenting on concrete article (posting the question related to the article, but from enquiry we receive, we do not see, which article they are reacting on... would be useful to 1) comment directly on page or 2) send questions connected to the articles https://padlet.com/enriquegallardo/EYP/wish/251058267 2018-04-12 09:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/enriquegallardo/EYP/wish/251058267 More visual material.
