The main goal of 'CILSNL Citizenship Education 2010-2011' is to provide more information on the extra-curricular activities offered at Dutch secondary schools participating in the 'Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries' (CILS4EU; Kalter et al., 2013) and the 'Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in the Netherlands' (CILSNL; Jaspers & Van Tubergen 2014; 2015). The survey consists of closed and open questions on school activities offered relating to the topics ‘war and freedom’ and ‘citizenship and democracy’ offered in the school year 2010-2011. A schoolid is provided to match the school-level data (N = 59) with the student-level data of CILS4EU/CILSNL.

The current panel describes and explains the life-courses of immigrant and native young adults in the Netherlands. The survey covers three central themes: (A) progress in school and in the labour market, (B) the development of norms, values, lifestyle and attitudes, (C) changes in social networks and social participation. Respondents are interviewed at age 17 (wave 4), 18 (wave 5), 19 (wave 6), and 20 (wave 7). The panel provides extensive information about these crucial ages, in which they will experience important developments, events and transitions: at school, on the labour market, but also with respect to their religion, identity, anti-social behaviour, prejudice, health, interethnic contacts, transnational ties, dating partners, relationship with their parents, and social participation.This panel is a continuation of the 3-wave panel study CILS4EU, which followed these immigrant and native children at age 14, 15, 16, 17 in the Netherlands, England, Germany and Sweden.
