description The goal of the international project ''lnternationales Lernen" is a comparative study on individual orientations and social representation among youth in five European countries: Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, Latvia and Croatia. For the purposes of the study in Croatia, youth from one part of Zagreb – Dubrava − was selected. Dubrava was selected due to many social-demographic indicators, for example a long experience of strong in-migration into that part of the city, which was especially emphasised during the last decade, and also a large mixture of both social groups and ethnic communities. In the paper the socio-demographic traits of Dubrava are presented, its development according to data on general settlement and progression of the population in the inter-census period 1981-1991. The age structure of Dubrava, with a pronounced greater percentage of people younger than 20 years of age in regard to the Zagreb average, is the result of the dynamic development of the population of Dubrava. Apart from a majority of Croats (indigenous population, new immigrants from other parts of the city and country, refugees, sections of the Croatian Diaspora), in Dubrava there also live Muslims, Serbs, Albanians, Gypsies, Czechs and others. For the purpose of the study, a pilot investigation was made on a sample of pupils in elementary and secondary schools in Dubrava. In this paper, which serves as a type of introduction to the first and later phases of the study, data pertaining to the basic characteristics of the queried pupils are presented.
