EPQ Eurovision primary research

fiona2003

Hello! I'm planning on doing my EPQ on the impact of European Politics on Eurovision. I'm a bit stuck on what to do for some primary research though- does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking of trying to get in contact with any past contestants, but I don't see how they would really be able to help in the political side of things. Can't think of any other primary research though!

if you did want to do some primary research then maybe you could do a questionnaire/survey asking staff and students their political opinions on Eurovision countries? As in is it progressive or such like

Ah right thank you- that calms me. Do you tink it might add another dimension though?

From my experience, the more varied sources the better for EPQs, but if it isn’t something that you personally feel like you need, don’t do primary for the sake of it. Can still get top grades without

If it can link well to your project then it’s a good thing to include, but on the examiner reports (for OCR exam board anyway) they stress that the primary research isn’t compulsory for high marks and discourage trying to shoehorn it in for the sake of it :smile:
