Our impact in numbers

So...

The good news is, we are achieving our goals. We are also able use this analysis to see where we need to improve our programmes to ensure we continue effectively tackling the root causes of prejudice and discrimination with, and for, the next generation.

The programme's focus on the Jewish experience of Anne Frank and the Holocaust does not limit its impact to attitudes towards Jewish people. On the contrary, this focus provides the basis for improved attitudes towards a wide range of other social groups who are typically targets of prejudice and discrimination. The programme acts as a route into generalised prejudice reduction.

How we evaluate

Young people complete our Contact Star and Workshop questionnaires both before and after participation. These questionnaires are a bespoke evaluation method developed for us by social psychologists at the University of Kent. They measure our attitudes and beliefs toward different social groups.
