Summary

The opportunities, aspirations and entitlements of young people are the focus of significant debates and policy developments. But how do these debates and policies reflect and support young people’s own interests, aspirations and ideas about what their lives should be like?

Infocow

Infocow connects you with useful stuff to help take control of life - sites, stories, information and inspiration. It’s made for and created by young people, aged around 14-19. It links to hundreds of different websites and sources of information that can help you to make positive changes, whether that’s finding out what to do after you finish your GCSEs, or what the first steps are to leaving home.

Infocow is sociable. If you find something you like on the site shout about it – vote it, comment on it, or share it on your Facebook wall.

Project type and status

Infocow is a free online resource for young people - supported by Becta.
