“Fußball trifft Kultur”: Impact analysis 2024/25 is here!

Our impact analysis for “Fußball trifft Kultur” in the 2024/25 school year is here! We published our report today, taking a detailed look at the results of the past FtK year. For the first time, the so-called “success stories” are also part of the report.

To create our impact analysis, we rely on our classic, two-pronged survey procedure: Firstly, the survey of the primary target group, the children. The children are surveyed at the end of the school year and can report on their learning progress as well as their motivation and feelings about “FtK”. And secondly, the views of our multipliers, our honorary staff, are also included. Our trainers and teachers submit a final report at the end of the school year, which allows us to better understand the developments in the group. For the first time, the trainers and teachers can also write down their “success stories”: In doing so, they give an anecdotal account of how individual participants have developed at “FtK” and how their behavior and skills have changed. The aim of the “success stories” is to make the results and impact of “Fußball trifft Kultur” more tangible.

In addition to the final reports, our honorary staff also document their content and performance in monthly reports. The monthly reports can be used to determine the exact number of hours and the respective absences. The utilization of the units is also documented, i.e. how many of the registered children are actually present.

The results of the 2024/25 impact analysis are impressive: 98% of all children say they have fun at “Fußball trifft Kultur”. Soccer training traditionally performs slightly better, but the majority of children also enjoy the lessons – which is very positive, especially considering the target group. The results for social skills are also excellent. 93% of the children say they treat each other with respect. It is clear from the reports of the trainers and teachers that this was often a development process, as there were often difficulties in dealing with each other at the beginning of the school year.

Further survey results, learning outcomes and an insight into some success stories can be found in our impact analysis, which is available to download HERE.
