To answer the research questions, tailored questionnaires for teachers and parents will be distributed by different project partners across the continent. In some countries, alongside the questionnaire responses, qualitative interview data will also be collected. This integration of mixed methods data will provide an even more comprehensive perspective on the state of character education, offering a broader understanding of the situation. Project leaders are Roland Bernhard (Vienna, Professor of Education), Veronica Fernandez (Madrid, Professor of Education) and Tom Harrison (Vice Chancellor of the University of Birmingham).
