The following questionnaire has been realized by the
polish students in september 2006, and then sent to the 5 partners in
order they add or change some items. During the project meeting in Sweden,
we have chosen the complete list of 26 questions.
|
From September to December, the questionnaire has
been given in each school to 100 pupils aged 13-16 from different
forms.
The results from each school have been collected and analysed
by the French school, and students & teachers have talked about
it during the second project meeting in Turkey. |
|
By clicking on the the different flags, you will find
the work realized by each school during the year. On this page are the
results of our query and the our comments on the behaviour and the culture
of the today's european youth.

We listen very different kind of music, either
national or international songs, it doesn't matter. Each young usualy
perfers some specific kind of music (pop, romantic songs, Rn'B or more
hard rap or rock...), but willingly hears other styles if he likes a
particular song, because of the sound or ryhtm or the personnality of the
singer... So our CD or MP3 players are full of quite different kind of
music we pick here or there : especially during the meeting in Turkey we
have often exchange our music files (I give you my french RnB and I take
this nice turkish jazz !!!).
