The survey was carried out to investigate the state of mind of people, particularly young people, on how the pandemic and the early post-pandemic was experienced. It also measures citizens' perception of closeness to institutions, from local to European, and identifies priorities to suggest to administrators.
It was conducted in the 7 partner countries, but through dissemination also involved people from other European and non-European countries.
267 people responded, most of them young and from Italy.
The data were presented on 26 October at the Final Conference of the E-Voice project by Alice Trevelin, cultural mediator and president of the Jonathan Cooperative, partner of the Gazzo Municipality.
