Social impact evaluation workshops
Evaluation in action: An introduction for community sector practitioners
This introductory workshop is designed for community sector practitioners who want to understand evaluation without the jargon, whether you're completely new to evaluation, or looking for a practical refresher.
Across the session, we'll explore what evaluation actually means, why it matters and how to approach it when your programs are complex and change is hard to measure.
Upcoming dates:
- Thursday 13 August, 10am to 3pm
Evaluation with, not on: Including community and stakeholders in evaluation
Building on the foundations of evaluation practice, this workshop explores what it means to truly involve your community and stakeholders in the evaluation process. We'll examine why participatory approaches lead to richer, more credible and useful evidence, and how to move beyond tokenistic consultation towards evaluation that genuinely centres the voices of the people closest to your programs.
Upcoming dates:
- Thursday 27 August, 10am to 3pm
