development of individual and interpersonal skills
persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen
Through the co-constructed soccer activity, the youth workers facilitated a process of growth and life skills development in the group, both at the individual (creativity, organisation) and interpersonal (teamwork) levels, boosting the group's self-affirmation and self-efficacy. [...] According to the youth workers (although the youths did not report these outcomes explicitly), the group [...] gained skills in terms of commitment, creativity, organisation and communication. "I noticed that at some point, they began discussing quite profound topics. Confronting each other on issues of organization and decision-making also led to improved communication among themselves, I think." (Youth worker 2)
