creating a positive group-identity and -perception
gesellschaftliche Stellung bzw. Wahrnehmung
Moreover, self-identifying as a formal team allowed for a positive appreciation of certain aspects of being part of the ‘station group’, and responded to a need for positive belonging, in contrast with the group's negative public representation. "Belonging to the group, creating certain rituals, a shirt…It slowly changes the way they see themselves. […] Before, they would feel the prejudice that was projected onto them, but at a certain point they started to highlight the positive aspects. For example, they said once ‘here we get to know a lot of strange people, and we learn to understand them, we understand more about life’." (Youth worker 2)
