Same could apply in different sections e.g. Youth Rights on Gender Equality : article with box/button leading to useful links in each country. It means less articles for everyone, mainly bookmarks. audrey_frith https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/291572334 2018-10-11 06:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/291572334 National content => European content when it comes to stories (question mark when it comes to subtitles, but can be solved); we can select the best ones and translate them into all languages. We would concentrate efforts on this, asking countries to provide stories every x week or month. audrey_frith https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/291572669 2018-10-11 06:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/291572669 Matching tool audrey_frith https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/291625350 To find the right programme for you.

Like you say, it makes no sense to publish the same text in English over and over again hilma_ruokolainen https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295934661 2018-10-23 13:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295934661 I also the think the portal is sort of mixing countries and languages. There are several countries in Europe which have more than one official language... hilma_ruokolainen https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295936642 2018-10-23 13:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295936642 Most of the content should be "European" (=valid information for anyone living in Europe) and that could be translated into several languages. In addition to the European content, there could be country-specific information on certain topics. The country-specific information should be separated into two types: information for those already living in the country (out-going) and for those wishing to enter the country (in-coming). hilma_ruokolainen https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295939718

And maybe not accept questions from people over 30 years old! (I feel like answering questions from adult Asian men is not really what we should be doing.) hilma_ruokolainen https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295945069 2018-10-23 13:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295945069 I think Eurodesk should ask young people what kind of content they'd like to have. (Maybe you can use the survey results?) If we want to develop user-friedliness, the users should be involved in the development process. hilma_ruokolainen https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295949404 2018-10-23 13:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/295949404 The structure between the European and the national level need to be more intuitive. As it is now you get confused all the time about this. On the Norwegian level there is an error that makes it almost impossible to find the articles we publish. They are practically hidden, unless you have the direct link. https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/296881373 2018-10-25 12:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/296881373 Make it known https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/296902968 Most young people don't know about this portal. We need to make it nice, interestering and attractive in order to promote it. Most young people only know the EVS database, that's it. 

    ]]>     2018-10-25 12:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/296902968     I know this will probably disappear but, until know, when young people wanted to apply for an EVS project through the online database (the old one), they should click on "email us". But this button would not always work or maybe it would only work for young people using Outlook, and so young people were writting to us to ask us the email address of this particular EVS vacancy. The trick was to check the address bar at the bottom of the screen but not all young people know that. It was such a waste of time for them and also for us to answer this kind of questions. https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/296906368 2018-10-25 13:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/safi_sabuni/EYPfeedback/wish/296906368
