development of confidence for participants

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

Another outcome identified relates to the development of confidence and skills among young people. Young people across the three projects spoke of how their confidence developed as a result of having to ‘put themselves out there’ in undertaking the project, talking to a diverse range of people in the course of undertaking their project and presenting their projects at the regional events and interviews. The group leaders also spoke of seeing an increased level of confidence among group members, particularly those who had been quiet or shy.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

In order to address various domains, a combination of literature review, qualitative and quantitative methods was used. The academic literature in relation to youth citizenship and civic engagement was reviewed in order to put the Foróige Citizenship Programme in context. The review of literature involved a search of academic databases such as Web of Knowledge and Science Direct and a search of the NUI, Galway library using key words such as ‘youth citizenship’ and ‘civic engagement’. The qualitative methods included a review of secondary data, interviews and focus groups. Groups entering the citizenship awards submit a project report from to Foróige which includes details about the group and the project they have undertaken. The aim of the youth survey was to use standardised measures to assess whether participation in the Foróige Youth Citizenship Programme impacted on participants’ civic attitudes and behaviour.
