gaining support and acknowledgment from local shop owners
gesellschaftliche Stellung bzw. Wahrnehmung
Thanks to the mediation of the youth workers in establishing a relationship of trust with some of the local commercial establishments and the promotion of positive connection between them and the group, this new acknowledgment concretely translated into the engagement of two local shop owners as tournament sponsors, who started to perceive the group differently: "You take people, you offer them some goals that differed from their previous activities…it is a beautiful thing. […] Eventually, the youth workers managed to shift the focus of the group away from what they had always done. They chose a different path, which was impressive." (Local shop owner 1)
