The next step: coordinating the in-depth studies ready to accompany the Shared Mindspace project.
The “ycccio” dialogue hits the very core of this 21st Century Student Exchgange strategy.

.. .. .. Promissio 2012: The “Max Mindspace Meta-Study”

It started in January 2012: a number of independent teams at universities in Europe, the United States and Asia as well as in Brazil and in Australia conduct an ongoing in-depth studies on the effects, both short term and long term, of the Shared Mindspace strategy.
In close cooperation with the Parental Fusion thinktank the ParentalPal.Org team will observe and study the continuing feedback from all teams and work on an ongoing meta-analysis to help improve the strategy and its operational progress.

The studies starts with a initial  5.000 participants, there is no upper limit to the number of students and there is no time limit, the studies are understood to be an ongoing and expanding process. The departments involved in the studies include: “Faculty of Education”, Faculty of Sociology”, “Faculty of Social and Developmental Psychology”, “Politics and International Studies”, “Faculty of Economics”, “Family Research” and “English and Applied Linguistics”.

There is a framework of criteria and guidelines for all research teams:

a 50/50 ratio of genders, and an equal spread of age groups ( 14-15, 16-17, 18-19 and 20+ students) intensive student & team feedback from the start and ongoing observation for at least ten years after the first exchange, standardized report system within the student-parents-school triangle and analysis of knock-on effects on peers & siblings, input of facts and recommendations into the Shared Mindspace wiki (which will be open for public access) etc.

The questions to be answered by the studies are:

In which ways does Shared Mindspace help a student to go abroad, does it lower the financial threshold and give parental peace of mind ?
How can exchange students benefit from and contribute to their family and school environments - both their own and their new ones ?
How can domino effects on siblings, neighbours, class mates etc. be measured and evaluated ?
In which ways does the exchange contribute to the motivation to study (harder) & to expand students’ horizons and how can it help them to find a clear definition of their talents, passions and their sense of identity ?
Finally: to which extent do students’ values change and how do their experiences through exchange influence the way they contribute to society ?
