improved interpersonal relationships within the station-group
Beziehungsaufbau und Interaktiosfähigkeiten
The possibility of carrying out an activity as a team is what the group members valued most and explicitly recognised. They were supported by the youth workers in improving their interpersonal relationship and ability to ‘be’ in a group, to accept, respect, and support each other to work together and reach a common goal. "It was something that brought us all together. Before, we used to stay in small subgroups. When the youth workers started coming, they encouraged us to work as one group. For example, all of us were able to paint the soccer goals, but the point is that we did it all together." (Q) "The fact of being in a group, confronting each other, throwing down some ideas, accepting other perspectives, this is definitely improved." (Z)
