This is our impact concept

We want our projects to have a lasting positive impact on the lives of our participants. In order to actually achieve this impact, we use various tools to plan and measure our impact. To do this, we use impact ladders that allow us to optimize our impact step by step.

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.

Program coach "Fußball trifft Kultur"

"Over the course of the program, the participating children have shown changes in both their learning and social behavior. Many children discovered new learning methods that motivated them and helped them to improve their language skills. As part of the German training, they were able to strengthen their independence and self-confidence. The opportunity to learn in a safe and familiar environment allowed the children to develop their curiosity. They showed greater interest in new content and increased motivation to face difficulties."

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."

Program coach "Fußball trifft Kultur"

"I noticed that some of the children have become really close friends. This was demonstrated by the fact that they walked home together. The teachers at the school once noticed that the FtK children stick together well and support 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."
