Survey of Syrian University Youth: Their Opportunities, Choices, Constraints and Perspectives for the FutureBuilding on Fafo’s cooperation with Damascus University which dates back to the mid-1990s, this project has supported sound, empirically-based scholarship on youth in Syria byconducting a joint survey of youth attitudes, values and opinions, values and opinions. In preparation for the joint survey, a two-day internal seminar was convened in early 2008 in Damascus to discuss selected papers on Syrian youth, conceptual issues and methods, as well as build consensus amongst interested researchers toward the survey design. The survey was designed jointly over the spring, and the survey fieldwork was conducted amongst Damascus University students in May 2008 with students and key faculty from the Faculty of Arts. The joint implementation of the survey also included training, piloting of the questionnaire and fieldwork supervision to both ensure quality control and to enhance institutional capacity of DU faculty and participating student interviewers. Fafo would like to recognize and thank The Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for supporting this collaborative research initiative.
