‘MUCH HARD EVIDENCE HAS ACCUMULATED THAT CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND SOCIAL
CONNECTEDNESS ARE PRACTICAL PRECONDITIONS
FOR BETTER SCHOOLS, SAFER STREETS AND EVEN HEALTHIER AND LONGER
LIVES’(Robert Putnam)
Students’ connectedness to school has been identified as among the greatest protective factors against polydrug use, absenteeism, pregnancy, and unintentional injury, even after taking familyinfluences into account.xxxix
Connectedness in Schools Students feeling of
connectedness was the #1 protective factor against
suicidal behaviour.
Students who feel connected to the school are also less likely to drink alcohol,
carry weapons, or engage in other delinquent behavior (2)
“Social connectedness is the magic bullet. ““Social connectedness comes through cultural and
community development -- building connectedness in the places where we live. That's what we need to be
doing: building local connectedness on a global scale.”Gabor Mate
