Part 2 of a series of four picture stories. This story covers the rights, obligations and main consequences of non-compliance in a simplified manner as it relates to the AMMR and Eurodac. The story also touches upon family tracing and reunification. While the content is particularly tailored to unaccompanied children, the story can also be relevant to accompanied asylum-seeking children.
This section contains information materials developed by the EUAA. There are two types of materials available.
Pact related information materials. The Pact on Migration and Asylum strengthens the right to information and the way in which information is to be provided, with an increased focus on applicants with special needs. The Pact also strengthens the harmonised provision of information, including by Member States providing information using materials drawn up by the EUAA. The EUAA was directly tasked to develop ‘common information material’ (Article 19 AMMR), ‘common leaflets’ (Article 42(3) Eurodac III Regulation and Article 20(2) AMMR), ‘leaflets’ (Article 8 APR) and ‘templates’ (Article 5 RCD (2024)). They were developed in such a way as to allow Member States to add country-specific information and are generically called 'brochures'. Member States must customise the brochures before use. A complementary package of pictures stories, posters, animation and flashcards was developed to provide information to applicants with special needs. Thirty-two different products were developed in total.
Information materials related to previous CEAS and published in 2023. These can be used by national authorities and other entities responsible for the provision of information on the asylum procedure and reception. These include animations, posters, brochures, leaflets and slide presentations. Some information materials are generic, with general and standard information applicable in all Member States. Other materials have been developed in a way that national authorities and other responsible entities are expected to complete them with national and/or local or specific information before using them. The materials come with ‘how to use’ manuals explaining when to distribute it, how and to whom. Some manuals also include a ‘script’ to support facilitators in carrying out information sessions using the material. The label 'Pact-compliant' indicates which materials published in 2023 can be used in the context of the new legal framework.
Methodology. All the information provision materials were developed according to the communication methodology of the EUAA Let’s Speak Asylum project. They were tested with applicants from various profiles and target groups. The materials are complementary to the other sections of the portal. These should be used in a mix of communication channels and complemented with the provision of specific information tailored to the individual needs of the applicant, in line with the methodology and the relevant applicable provisions.
