FOCUS GROUP RESULTS

The focus groups are a core quality-assurance activity in WP2, designed to evaluate, validate, and improve the training content before implementation and pilot testing. Each partner have conducted a focus group with expert participants to ensure the content aligns with project objectives.

The main objective of the focus groups is to evaluate the drafted training content in order that the consortium could identify strengths, gaps, unclear areas, or missing components.

The participants of the focus group included teachers, educators, and youth workers with experience in parent-training.

4 individual expert evaluation reports were created and 1 consolidated summary report with improvement recommendations was prepared.
