European Union Through The Students' Lens: Comparative Study Case Czech Republic X Slovakia
European Union Through The Students' Lens: Comparative Study Case Czech Republic X Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: It is more than fifteen years since the last major enlargement of the European Union. This enlargement aimed at the states of the former Eastern bloc, including the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Thus, about two generations have been living in the free world and have spent much of it in the European Union. However, what is the perception of the European Union among young students? Does the perception of the European Union differ between students according to different types of schools? Is the perception different between the capital and the periphery and between those two countries? The presented empirical research answers all the questions mentioned above, which were examined by the first generation of voters at secondary schools in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main research tool used was semi-structured questionnaires with subsequent identification of narratives. The results show no critical differences between the countries or regions, but the main conflict line is the schools’ types.
