increased sense of responsibilty for the station area
persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen
Being identified with the place also means that the group lost its anonymity and gained an identity as part of the broader community. Consequently, the group developed a sense of responsibility for what happened there and how the place looked like, beginning to take care of it. This increased care was observed both by the youth workers and the researchers, as reported in the fieldnotes and youth workers' diary, and acknowledged by the group members themselves: "If you feel positively considered in a place you keep it well, you keep it clean. You feel ashamed if you leave it dirty." (R) They used to look at us and think ‘they are the ones who make a mess and leave dirt behind’. Instead, even if we may have left a mess before, we now pay more attention to it. Because they know us, they know who we are…now they see us differently, it is different." (Q)
