You have taken part in some kind of project or group activity.

It might have been a girls-/boys-group or maybe you arranged a music event or a camp together, ran a café, operated a youth centre, or…

A group can of course also run a project, for example: A photo group that decide that they want to go on a camp and therefore arrange an event to raise money.

Regardless of what you have done we want to know how YOU think it has been.
To us it is important that you have been able to influence the activities that you have been taking part in. Through this questionnaire, we will find out if this is the case, or if there is something we need to improve.

You respond totally anonymously. No one will be able to identify your answers.
You will find explanations to each question if you click on the ? symbol. The explanations are there to make it clear what the question means and why we ask it.

To think about when you answer the questions:
- Read the questions carefully.
- If you feel uncertain – click on the ? symbol or ask your youth worker!
- If you feel that you can not answer - mark “I don´t know”
- Give your honest opinion!

Good luck!

At last, some questions about you


We ask these questions because it is important to us that everyone gets the same treatment and possibilities regardless of gender, age, background and other personal factors. Depending on how you answer the below questions we will be able to see if there are differences regarding how groups and activities are perceived by, for example, boys and girls. If there are such differences we want to be able to do something about it.

Gender?
