These are our evaluation methods

We carry out regular evaluations to objectively assess our impact and further develop our projects based on data.

Project monitoring

We regularly collect data on the units carried out, their content and the children taking part, which allows us to assess whether our projects are being carried out as planned.

Reports from the project locations

Our teachers and trainers report on their experiences in the project groups both monthly and at the end of each school year.

Participant surveys

At the end of each school year, we ask our participating children about their experiences in the project, their social and academic development and any further wishes for improvement.

Scientific support

Together with the Karlsruhe University of Education, we are evaluating the impact of "Fußball trifft Kultur" in scientific studies.

"Löwenstark - Fußball trifft Kultur" project teacher

"We have found that participation in the "Löwenstark - Fußball trifft Kultur" project has had a positive impact on the children's academic performance. They have achieved better grades overall at school, particularly in the areas of reading, writing and oral communication, as these skills were strongly encouraged in the project. The children's increased interest and engagement has had a direct impact on their performance in the classroom."

Program coach "Fußball trifft Kultur"

"The environment has changed for the better for many of them. More than half have started playing soccer in clubs (even the two girls), many have made new friends and get on well with their environment."

"Löwenstark - Fußball trifft Kultur" project teacher

"The children's social behavior has improved significantly as a result of the group exercises. They have learned to communicate with each other more effectively, resolve conflicts respectfully and develop empathy for the feelings and perspectives of their classmates. The pupils now treat each other better by supporting each other."

"Fußball trifft Kultur" project teacher

"In general, the children's writing and language skills improved, as they made fewer and fewer grammatical and spelling errors over the course of the program year. At the same time, it is noticeable that the pupils can read more fluently and increasingly without errors."
