(en) How do citizens who grew up in a federal system understand federalism in their country? To answer this important question, in an experimental design, we asked 234 French-speaking Belgian university students to “draw Belgium”. No other guidelines were given. In addition to this request, the students were asked to fill in a 19-question questionnaire about their federal perceptions and preferences as well as political and socio-demographic indicators. In this article, we analyze the results of the questionnaire and reflect on the relationships between representations and perceptions of federalism in Belgium.
