Decolonisation of the Curriculum refers to the multilayered process of recognising and dismantling power dynamics and knowledge paradigms that perpetuate racial, gender, and geo-political hierarchies. It entails rectifying historical and present power imbalances (dominations) and their social ramifications (discriminations), challenging the assumptions of Western knowledge hegemony and superiority. Educational systems in Europe often reflect Eurocentric paradigms, marginalising non-Western narratives and perpetuating inequalities. DECUS seeks to address these gaps by integrating decolonial approaches and supporting teachers in their professional development, fostering intersectional inclusion and equality in secondary education.

As part of our preliminary research, we have developed surveys directed at teachers to help us gain a better understanding of their contexts and professional needs. The information you provide will be used to design training opportunities and resources tailored to your experiences and needs. This survey was designed based on previous work made by Jeannie Kerr & Vanessa Andreotti (2019) which we are endlessly thankful for sharing with us.

You can find all versions here:

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Your answers are anonymous, and any personal data collected will be treated confidentially and ethically. If you have further concerns regarding the survey, please contact: decus@quest-eu.org.
