Living Knowledge Network Webinars: Long-term Impact - Evaluation and Celebrating our Work in the Community | Wednesday, November 22 · 1 - 2 PM WAT
Evaluation often feels like a chore to complete at the end of a project, a necessity to convince our funders they were right to trust us to deliver. We send out an evaluation form, receive a handful back, and share a few quotes in the hope that this will be enough.
But what if we start to think of evaluation differently? What if evaluation becomes embedded in our work and is creative and engaging? What if it becomes a means to build relationships with the communities you are trying to engage? What if, by planning our evaluation differently, we can start to tell the story of our long-term impact and social value with the communities we work with?

The Good Practice Mentor Team: Ripple Effect Mapping | Thursday, November 23 · 10:30 - 11:30 AM WAT
This workshop demonstrates a form of developmental evaluation that shows contribution to something rather than attribution.
Many external influences and drivers exist in a complex system, such as a local community, so it's impossible to prove attribution. This participatory approach is based on mapping events in a project, programme, place, and/or partnership with participants or stakeholders involved at points throughout the project. These events can then be mapped and coded to analyze the evaluated activity.
