fostering achnowledgement of the station-group by official institutions and the community
gesellschaftliche Stellung bzw. Wahrnehmung
The acknowledgment by the community is reflected, or rather symbolically embodied, in an encounter with the institutions through a ceremony to give the mayor a personalised jersey, which was also reported in the press with pictures of the group at the Municipality. The importance of this event was underlined both by the youth workers and the group, who felt proud and surprised by the interest shown by the institutions: "The fact that the mayor wanted the jersey means that our project interested him, he wanted to welcome us there, even to take the picture, take the jersey, so it was…it was something new."
