Our Impact
Since 2009, Generation Global has helped young people build the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to engage with the world and with one another.
Rigorous data sits at the heart of how we work. We embed data collection tools within our platform to assess programme effectiveness, improve delivery, and track impact over time. This allows us to measure knowledge acquisition, attitudinal change and skills development through a robust approach developed with expertise from University College London.
Our model has been tried and tested in partnership with multiple governments and our resources are recognized as best practice by the UK Department for Education, UNESCO, the Brookings Institute, and the National Council for Social Studies.

Outcomes
The learning journey for young people starts with the awareness that intercultural communication and dialogue exist, and through this knowledge, young people can continue to grow and practise the skills and attitudes that are required for efficacy.
Layers of Impact:
-
Awareness: Learners are knowledgeable about what
dialogue is and why it is important to
create peaceful and inclusive societies.
↓ -
Practice: Learners understand and practise the
core skills of dialogue to develop
intercultural communication.
↓ - Transformation: Young people use dialogue as a transferable skill to actively participate in the world as global citizens.
Attitudinal change
This overview brings together three complementary indicators of attitudinal change. Diversity Awareness is a self-reported 0-100 measure of the extent to which learners perceive people with different beliefs, values, or backgrounds in their neighbourhood, country, and the world. Prejudice / Warmth uses a 0-100 feeling thermometer to capture the affective tone of learners' attitudes toward people from different backgrounds. Inclusion of Other in the Self (IOS) measures perceived commonality with out-group members on a five-point closeness scale, here expressed as a weighted average from 0% to 100%.
Attitudinal change overview. Values shown are means, weighted averages, or Agree % depending on the measure. Repeated-measure deltas compare to baseline.

| Diversity Awareness | Country | 67.7 | 71.9 +4.2 vs baseline | - |

* Within-subjects longitudinal design. Only participants who completed both the baseline (Learning Dojo) and at least one Progress Tracker are included, enabling a matched-cohort comparison of the same individuals at both time points. Each student contributes one baseline response and their final follow-up response on this measure. This reduces bias that would arise from comparing different respondent groups over time.

Warmth by Video Conference Attendance
Average warmth reported at baseline and after successive video conferences among participants who completed a baseline and at least one post-video-conference reflection.
* Matched longitudinal descriptive view. Group 0 shows baseline warmth for participants who later completed at least one post-video-conference warmth reflection. Groups 1-5 show the mean warmth from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th chronological post-video-conference reflection among participants who attended at least that many conferences. Group 6+ combines reflections from the 6th conference onward. These groups show reported warmth at successive stages of participation and provide a descriptive view of how continued participation in video conferences may contribute to warmer attitudes over time.

Skills development
Dialogue Skills Psychometrics
This overview reports average scores on interval-style 0-100 reflective self-assessment items designed to capture Generation Global's core dialogue skill domains: sharing personal experiences/perspectives, respectfully challenging views, active listening, asking questions, critical thinking, and reflection. These items function as psychometric indicators of learners' perceived dialogue skill repertoire at baseline and follow-up.
Overview for Dialogue Skills Psychometrics. Values are means, and repeated-measure values compare to baseline.

| Global Communication - Sharing | I share details about my personal experiences and beliefs openly without being encouraged to do so | 64.0 | 72.8 +8.8 vs baseline |
| Global Communication - Challenging | If I hear something I do not agree with, I know how to respectfully tell others that I have a different perspective | 76.8 | 79.6 +2.8 vs baseline |
| Active Listening | I know how to show others that I am listening to them | 79.9 | 80.7 +0.8 vs baseline |
| Ask Questions | I know how to ask questions that can help develop a conversation further | 71.5 | 76.5 +5.0 vs baseline |
| Critical Thinking | I take time to think about who I am and how my perspectives are influenced by my experiences and background | 72.8 | 77.2 +4.4 vs baseline |
| Reflection | I think about what I have learned so that I can improve the experience of dialogue | 76.3 | 79.6 +3.3 vs baseline |

Dialogue Skills Improvement
This overview reports the proportion of respondents who agree that the programme is developing their dialogue skills. The Progress Tracker item captures whether learners feel the Ultimate Dialogue Adventure overall is developing their dialogue skills, whereas the Post Video Conference item captures whether a specific video conference is perceived as contributing to that development. These are self-reported indicators of perceived skill development rather than direct performance assessments.

Testimonials
- As a teacher, I see a lot of positive changes in my students' behaviour. They have
become more tolerant toward each other and they look at the world around them more
positively. They have developed a great degree of empathy.
Teacher, Ukraine
- When I joined Generation Global, I lacked self-confidence but soon I witnessed a
remarkable change in my personality. Coming across people with different thoughts,
values, religions, languages, and cultures is bound to broaden your mind and make
you see the world with an entirely new vision.
Student, India
- Deliberately teaching students the skills to dialogue will help create a strong
constituency that reaches out to persons of different cultures and faiths. I endorse
this free resource for use in the Philippines as it can help create a culture of
understanding.
Undersecretary, Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process in the Philippines
- After a 2 day workshop teachers have reported the enthusiastic engagement of their
students in Essentials of Dialogue and after their first video conference, reported
their students to be highly excited by the experience.
