European Identity

To "measure" the impact of the Grundtvig Project on our learners by the end of year 1a questionnaire about European Identity has been created by the Spanish partners. Here are the results:

100% regarded their nationality PORTUGUESE
100% regard their home country as PORTUGAL

29% are strongly connected to Europe
85% are strongly connected to Portugal
71% are normally connected to Europe
7% are normally connected to Portugal

14% strongly feel European
78% are strongly connected to Portugal
7% don't feel European at all
21% regularly feel connected to Portugal
78% normally feel European

21% strongly felt European 30 years ago
21% strongly felt Portuguese 30 years ago
14% normally felt European 30 years ago
14% normally felt Portuguese 30 years ago

93% find European citizenship important
85% find it important to be Portuguese
7% find European citizenship normal
14% find not at all important to be Portuguese

7% visited 0 European countries
42% visited 1 European country
29% visited 2 European countries
7% visited 3 European countries
7% visited 4 European countries
7% visited more than 5 European countries

64% feel that the experience was positive
36% find the experience negative

86% think that European politics are important
14% think that European politics are unimportant

100% think that European currency is important
100% think that Cultural values are important

78% would like to live/work elsewhere in Europe
14% would not...

50% find the influence of EU membership positive
50% find it neutral

100% say "European identity means something to me"

It is quite clear that European identity is developing amongst our learners now, although they feel strongly connected to their country.
The importance of Europe 30 years ago (for those who can remember) in their lives has deeply changed.
