increased confidence

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

Around 6 in 10 young people (61.3 percent) believe they are now more confident as a consequence of participating in Advance. Likewise, around 56 percent indicate that they are now more confident when speaking to people they do not know. These positive outcomes are validated by teachers, who overwhelmingly believe that Advance has had beneficial impacts on self-esteem, confidence and communication skills. The higher teacher mean scores (4.1 to 4.4) and agreement levels (between 91 percent and 97 percent) are consistent with their direct observation of so many young people clearly benefiting from the programme.
