Young Germans 2011: on the way into an uncertain future- by Simon Schnetzer

“Young Germans” is a documentary & research project implemented by Simon Schnetzer, a young German economist. The purpose of the project is to understand social change from the perspective of young people in Germany, to communicate findings and to inspire political and/or institutional change.

about the project

Two months, almost 3.000 km, 39 x couchsurfing across Germany and hundreds of interviews: Simon cycled from the Alps to Berlin, to the North Sea and back, couchsurfed with locals and interviewed 18-34 year-olds at the roadside or at his hosts’ places. From September 2010 through to February 2011 an online-survey was live for broad participation, independent from the bicycle tour.

about the survey

The themes of the survey are: living conditions, work & financial situation, future – personal & Germany, politics & engagement and identity. All questions fit on a 2-page questionnaire and took approximately 4-5 minutes to answer.

Here is a brief presentation of the study in Berlin:
