Portals for young people: The European dimension

Portals for young people - United Kingdom

These portals are designed as guides to help you through life. Their sites are packed with need-to-know information and links to essential contacts. They have addresses for local information services, can help you get in touch with relevant organisations, and provide straightforward advice on a variety of topics. And most of them have fun stuff like interactive services and entertainment listings as well.

Need2Know

Travel, leisure, money, relationships, health, drugs, the law – whatever it is you need to know about, this site will help you get clued up. There’s advice on where to find support for a range of problems, and you can have your say in the debate section. They also want articles from young people aged 13 to 19, so get writing!
