increased self-efficacy and self-confidence
psychosoziales Befinden
In the youth workers' perspective, giving the group a chance –for the first time, perhaps– to express themselves and participate as decision-makers in the programme enhanced their personal self-efficacy, making them feel capable of achieving something. "This idea of doing something in the station area, which was their place, made it clear that they were able to do something." (Youth worker 1) "That experience, as they told me later, boosted their self-confidence and made them feel more effective in what they do. […] A boy said ‘After this experience, I understood that if you want certain things, you can achieve them. I managed to get my driver's license, I put myself on the line for other things’ […] Many kids realized that if they commit to something, it is not impossible—they can do it." (Youth worker 2)
