Flashcards

The flashcards below contain no text and rely exclusively on visual elements. This makes them particularly suitable for providing information to younger children (12 years and below). Information providers can use the cards to explain complex legal concepts in a simplified and child-friendly manner, while children can use the visuals to share information about themselves, express concerns or develop questions.

The visual-only format can also be effective in contexts where language barriers exist, as it reduces reliance on verbal or written communication. The cards can be playfully combined to create storylines that support interactive information provision, allowing information providers to adapt explanations, encourage participation and incorporate country-specific information by using selected visuals in an engaging and accessible way. The flashcards, like all other materials created as part of the Informative materials linked to the Pact instruments by the Agency, can be used in individual and group information sessions.

Also see the EUAA manual titled Providing information to vulnerable applicants and people with specific needs for more guidance on how to meaningfully use the flashcards with applicants.

This section contains a library of illustrations and icons designed by the EUAA that can be used by national authorities and other entities responsible for the provision of information to communicate and provide information to applicants in a uniform manner. They aim at expressing asylum and reception-relevant terminology in a simple and culturally appropriate way. They can be used in all asylum and reception contexts, including signs in facilities, premises, and in any communication material produced for information provision purposes.

The icons and illustrations were developed according to the communication methodology of the EUAA Let’s Speak Asylum project. They followed standardised design rules and were tested out of context and in context with applicants from various profiles and target groups to ensure that they can be easily understood.

The library currently contains visuals designed for the information provision materials developed by the EUAA and does not cover all asylum and reception-related terminology. New topics will be added gradually.
