The EAS 28 Youth Information Centre – Informagiovani (short as IG28) has been established since 1992 and has gone from strength to strength. The service has three full-time staff, a Coordinator, a Development Officer and an Information Officer. We also have a part-time Assistant Information Officer.

The IG28 works with young people aged 12 to 25, parents and those who work with young people, for example teachers and youth workers. Therefore our primary focus is on providing information and youth work programmes to improve the lives and development of young people and the adults who support them. On the other side, our overall purpose is to ensure the provision of quality youth work and to help young people to develop positive attitudes by making the best choices with regards to relationships, school, college, internet safety, health and especially entering work.

In order to achieve this ambitious purpose, we are continuously developing and implementing programs and policies in the following areas:

Education: we offer young people informal education which complements the formal education sector. Our courses offer a fun way of learning new skills and having new experiences that will look really good on their CV and help them get involved in their community in a really positive way.

Youth Health: we are able to offer young people interactive programmes that will promote and inform healthy lifestyle behaviours. They cover topics such as drug and alcohol awareness, socialising safely, healthy choices, personal development, sexual health awareness, mental health or healthy eating.

Employment: our office has an important tradition of helping young people find employment. Youth work plays an important role in youth employability and the aim of IG28 is to support young people in building confidence, finding opportunities and for personal growth.

Youth Support: we offer young people a listening ear support service in order to support them to manage possible difficulties they may be experiencing at home, at school or in their personal lives.

Internet Safety and Cyber Bullying: online tools, smart gadgets, widgets and social networks have many hidden dangers. What we do is to organise workshops to educate people about the dangers of the Internet and in particular Cyberbullying.
Additionally, we strive to encourage both parents and young people to have positive attitudes towards the Internet and embrace it in a responsible and age appropriate manner.

Child Protection: it is our policy to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from all forms of abuse. We are committed to providing a safe space for children and young people to grow, develop, learn and have fun.

Equality and Diversity: we are committed to prevent any form of discrimination, inequality or denial of equal opportunity; whether direct or indirect against young people, staff, prospective staff members and volunteers. Our commitment to Equality and Diversity is practically demonstrated through our work on specific projects designed to tackle racism, sectarianism and homophobia.

IG28 – Informagiovani currently caters for on average 200 young people per month.

The centre belongs to the Informagiovani Network, operates under the National Informagiovani guidelines and offers a unique approach to youth information in that the information team strive to animate the information through courses and innovative projects.
