In Slovenia, we can see there are statistically significant relationships
between students’ SES and participation in an environmental action group
or organization (t= 3.33), participation in a voluntary group doing some-
thing to help the community (t= 3.54), participation in an organization col-
lecting money for a social cause (t= 3.58) and participation in a group of
young people campaigning for an issue (t= 3.45).

In Italy, we can observe similar relationships between SES and forms
of participation in a wider community. An environmental action group or
organization (t= 3.67), A voluntary group doing something to help the com-
munity (t= 5.89), An organization collecting money for a social cause (t=
3.57)) and an animal rights or animal welfare group (t= 1.98).

In Croatia, we found that not a single form of participation in the com-
munity had any statistically significant relationship with the SES of the stu-
dents that participated in the ICCS.

Overall, the results suggest that the relationship between the partici-
pation of ICCS students outside of school and SES varies across countries
