improved teamwork and communication abilities

Beziehungsaufbau und Interaktiosfähigkeiten

Conversations during the focus groups and interviews with young people showed that some of the participants had reflected on the role of communication and teamwork whilst they were on the course. Participants talked positively about working with their peers and some had begun to think about the importance of how they communicated with each other. The impact was also acknowledged by teachers and support staff.
