QUESTIONAIRE ON CITIZENSHIP
TO THE PARENTS
THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP WORK ON CITIZENSHIP
WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM 210 FAMILIES OF OUR SCHOOLS.
WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM 210 FAMILIES OF OUR SCHOOLS.
Firstly proposed and discussed on the 4th partnership meeting, in Kosice, September 2015, a questionnaire on citizenship and democracy has been approved on the following meeting, in Tomar, November 2016.
The importance of the different communities’ participation “out of the school” was somehow important on our global point of vue.
In fact, trying to understand how the families behave in this area might be an important glimpse to better understand pupils and their attitudes.
It was a delicate matter, though.
Although full of good intentions, it might be misunderstood by adults, so a preparatory work near the families has been important so that they became totally relaxed on the goals of our non-technical survey.
The general letter to the parents of all partner schools assuring total anonymity was an important step. Others initiatives taken by the partners according to their realities were a sort of reinforcement of those assurances.
Dear Sir / Madam
As you know, our school belongs to an international partnership with six other schools from different countries. It is an ERASMUS + Partnership involved in a project named GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP STEPS IN EUROPE (Global Citizenship, for short). This project has been built over four main themes: Sustainability and Environment; Climate Changes; Citizenship and Democracy; and Migrations and Urban Development.
As well as involving pupils, we wish to give parents a voice with reference to the theme of Democracy and Citizenship.
This takes the form of a simple questionnaire.
We wish to ask 30 different parents (mother or father), in a rigorous anonymous way, their opinions on Democracy and Citizenship.
We decided on 30 questionnaires to facilitate the final treatment of the data of all seven countries. These questionnaires will be distributed so that they might represent the pupils’ diversity.
The questions are related to the rights of citizens’ participation on everyday life (country, region, or local).
Please, take good note that the questions may look “political”. Rather they are in the sense of "civic" rather than the way political parties act.
By doing this, we firmly believe that we are crossing the school walls and making parents as an active part of our project.
Thanking you in advance for your contributions (note that a questionnaire that will be returned in blank is a valid contribution!). Here you have six “closed” questions and one “open” question.
Yours sincerely
The local project coordinator
