What is YOUTH and HISTORY?

YOUTH and HISTORY is the name of an empirical research project on historical consciousness and political attitudes among teenagers in 27 countries in Europe and some bordering territories. It has been initiated some 6 years ago by Magne Angvik (Bergen, Norway) and Bodo von Borries (Hamburg, Germany). The project group has since grown to uniting more than 30 researchers from all participating countries and different academic disciplines. 
The project's method has been a quantitative survey using a standardized questionnaire which was put to nearly 32,000 students. Another questionnaire was filled out by their teachers (1,250). 
The field phase of the project lay in 1994/95. Reports and analyses have been published since 1996 (see publication-list). 
In March 1997, a two-volume documentation, description and analysis of YOUTH and HISTORY was published, accompanied by a CD-ROM containing the databases of students and teachers.
