increased involvement and inclusion of the girls in the station-group

soziale Inklusion

A gender distinction can be indeed retraced. From the beginning, as reported in the fieldnotes and youth workers' diary, it was mostly the boys who played, whereas the girls orbited around the game field. However, the youth workers managed to involve the girls in tasks where their contribution could be valued, such as organisational and communication aspects, to promote group cohesion and inclusion.
