We are pleased to share noteworthy insights from our recent pilot courses across partner countries. Through pre and post-course surveys, we have collected valuable data shedding light on the effectiveness of our interventions in promoting well-being and alleviating loneliness.
The results indicate a promising uptick in overall well-being across the partner countries – a development of particular significance. Although individual country analyses showed varying degrees of significance, it is evident that our initiatives are beneficial for the participants.
Our surveys revealed a marked reduction in loneliness among participants, a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to address social isolation. While the impact varied across countries, the collective data underscores the effectiveness of our interventions in fostering meaningful connections and combating feelings of loneliness.
We noted diverse responses in participants’ outlook on the future, with some reporting improved optimism while others maintained a steady confidence level. This nuanced response highlights the multifaceted nature of our programmes’ impact on participants’ confidence and outlook. The project also evidently bolstered interpersonal relationships, fostering a greater sense of closeness and connection among participants. This outcome underscores our commitment to enhancing social well-being and strengthening community ties. Additionally, the pilots sparked a renewed interest in exploration and learning among participants, indicative of a broader engagement with novel concepts and experiences. This shift aligns with our overarching goal of promoting positive mental health by nurturing curiosity and openness to new experiences.
Our findings clearly underscore the significance of our work in advancing well-being and social cohesion making us very proud, heartening us – and hopefully encouraging you – to remain dedicated to fostering positive change and empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives.
