Evaluation
Evaluation can provide valuable insights on how well a project is working, participant experience, reach and impact. We help clients with scoping, design and implementation of the process.
ACT Waterford, Creative Ireland Climate Action Project
The Waterford ACT project sees local communities work with creative professionals to explore how individuals and communities can take meaningful action in response to climate change. Waterford City and County Council teamed up with South East Technological University to deliver this project supported by Creative Ireland under the Creative Climate Action fund. Project evaluation has involved interviews, surveys and focus groups with creative practitioners, stakeholders and participants to gain an understanding of how creative engagement can foster and enable community climate action.
NYCI STEAM programmes
We have assisted the National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI) with assessment of the learning and personal development outcomes for young people involved in their STEAM programmes. We developed a simple, accessible evaluation tool to gather reflections from learners, designed a survey to gather feedback at regional showcase events and analysed and reported on all of the data gathered.
Science Week Festival Evaluation
We have evaluated Wexford, Kilkenny, and South East Science Festivals (2019 to 2024) for Calmast, SETU’s STEM Engagement Hub. This involves conducting surveys to gather feedback from audiences taking part in events, and interviews with stakeholders including representatives of organisations providing community and youth services, public and private bodies, and STEM professionals.
