Module 2. How to check your democracy level

Guide to Democratic Empowerment M2 Page 10/12 July 2025 Provide an “open space” station for the duration of the questionnaire: anyone with technical questions can come to the moderator's table; anyone who feels uncertain about the content can receive brief explanations of the questions there. This will prevent frustration and ensure that everyone feels confident and well supported. Wrap up the evening with an outlook: specify the date and format of the results presentation so that parents can see that theirinput will not disappear into data nirvana, but will actually bring about real change. Get Support Through Coaching! If your school participates in the coACTION project, the project team offers regular coaching sessions to support you throughout the process. This is a valuable opportunity to talk about your experiences, highlight successes, and discuss areas that still require attention or energy. Coaching isn’t about judging results — it’s about supporting your school’s development with insight, empathy and care. If your school has access to a coach, you can use this opportunity to ask questions, review your progress, and prepare for the next steps. If your school is not participating in the coACTION project, you are still welcome to contact your country's project partner or the coordinator directly if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you! Wrap-Up At the end of the implementation phase of the coACTION Sensor, take some time to summarise how it worked. These findings can be very useful for further surveys: 1. Was the time frame for the survey appropriate? Was it too long/too short? Were there delays? Why? How can they be avoided? 2. How did the involvement of colleagues work out? What can we take away as good practice, what should be improved? 3. How did the cooperation with the school management work? Do we need more support somewhere? What are we grateful for? 4. How did the individual groups react to the survey? How well did we succeed in explaining the purpose and getting people interested? What do we learn from this and take with us for the next time? 5. How did the organisation of the individual surveys work - With the school management? With the teachers?
