Research and Development
Included in the project is a systematic program of scientific evaluation that measures, using observation, in-person interviews and questionnaires, the short and long term impacts of the program. The program is constantly being evaluated by an onsite research team of experts who collect and analyze data using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Instruments specific to this project are being developed by a team of researchers which are tested for validity and reliability using pilot samples of Greek and Turkish children.
