Case study n°3
Working Group: SLOVAKIA
Your Name: MACHACEK LADISLAV
Title of the study: Questionnaire on youth participation in Slovakia
Authors (who are they): Jan Šípoš and ¼ubica Sobihardova (Slovakia)
Relevance for Working Group:
These two separate questionnaires were drawn up using the same approach and with the same general structure, first gathering basic information, then an outline of current policy with examples of best practice, and, finally, details of expectations at European level. Countries were also asked to specify the channels used nationally for consulting young people. While the way in which the questions were handled differed from one country to another depending on the national situation of youth policy and the nature of youth involvement, the replies in terms of information supplied, ideas and proposals put forward and examples of good practice provided a fertile and interesting basis for this working paper. The purpose of this report is to present a synoptic analysis of the replies to the questionnaire as a basis for proposing common objectives in the area of participation and information for adoption by the Council. For each theme, the replies are broken down into three main areas, preceded by explanatory factual information.
Research Question(s):
For the questionnaire on participation, the three main areas are: participation by young people in local community life, participation by young people in institutional systems of representative democracy, and education for active participation.
The three main areas for the information questionnaire are: access to information, quality of information for young people and participation by young people in producing and disseminating the information.
Methodology (Survey, secondary analysis, qualitative data, no. Of respondents etc.)
Experts questionnaire with 30 questions
Status (running, date for completion): Data completion in Slovakia 15.12.2002
The replies from the candidate countries have been incorporated into the analysis for the 15 Member States, including Slovakia.
Results:
In formal education the integration of subjects as citizenship education or social and political education is an important means of teaching young people about participation and in some Member States it is part of their official school curricula.
Schools remain in all Member States a place where participation plays the most important role in learning to participate; nevertheless, it sometimes remains a theoretical issue of curricula instead of a good practice to experience participation in everyday life in schools. In most countries, elections for School and University Councils offer pupils the opportunity to learn to participate through "learning by doing".
In the non-formal sector, a wide range of activities provide possibilities for learning and practising participation; in some Member States, pilot projects play an important role in learning how to participate and in finding innovative and new solutions for better participation strategies.
