Do the people of Latvia have a dream? A dream for their personal life, for their country? And are they able to follow that dream? Is it the state that fulfils the citizen’s dream, or are the citizens the ones responsible for making their own dreams come true? And are there different dreams among the elderly and the youth? Is there a common Latvian dream, or does each region have its own? These are the main questions the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) wanted to ask the Latvian, but also, in two other studies, the Estonian and Lithuanian people. To find answers, the FES worked together with the Estonian polling institute Turu/Uuringute, the Latvian polling Institute SKDS and the Lithuanian polling institute Baltijos Tyrimai. Over three workshops and with the support of focus groups it was possible to draft a common questionnaire for the three Baltic states, consolidating the core questions and adding specific questions for each country.
