U-Report Europe is a digital platform created to connect young Ukrainians on the move, provide them with updated life-saving information about their host countries, amplify their voices and support the mobilization of youth to actively participate in building better societies for young people.
U-Report is UNICEF’s flagship digital platform to engage young people in program priorities, emergency response, and advocacy actions. It is designed to ensure young people’s voices are heard and that they can receive free, life-saving information in real-time (through instant messaging on social media) while engaging in issues that concern them and providing feedback. It supports adolescent, youth and community participation and works as a tool to share information, raise awareness and collect quantifiable data on specific areas that impact children, including the most vulnerable. The received responses are analyzed in real-time, mapped, and displayed on a public dashboard, ensuring the young people’s feedback can be actioned by local and national decision-makers.
