What it's all about

This research project is being run by three students who are currently at university.
We are taking part in a programme run by the Three Faiths Forum called the Undergraduate Parliamentors and are interested in exploring how the British educational system promotes religious tolerance.

Aaron Kienwald has asked for help on this idea - Find out how you can help

    Good to meet you all yesterday, the project I mentioned at the Citizenship Foundation is called Youth Act, and Ade who's the Director is very friendly and might be able to help - more info here: http://www.citizenshipfoundation.org.uk/main/page.php?69     Report Abuse

    We'll certainly get on to them..oooh - p.s. we got two responses back from my schools - Primary Said No (very rudely), but my Secondary said yes :) woo! The executive headmaster responded that he thought it was a very interesting idea, and approved, passing it on to the site headmaster - i figure we're ok now that we have his ok. The site headmaster will get back to me shortly.

    I am making efforts to contact another primary.     Report Abuse

    I think you need to gather info and decide what you want to measure - but then remember that you have the know-how about how to communicate with young people your age - so make sure the questions are accessible! I'd suggest running the questions past teachers for primary and secondary kids for the ages you will be asking too - just to make sure it's not going over their heads :)

    Have a good holiday!
