Evaluation Principles In Practice | Workshop 2: Listening to Many Voices
Were you unable to join us for the recent Evaluation Principles in Practice workshops? Or perhaps you would like to re-visit the sessions? All three workshops, exploring the co-created Evaluation Principles, are now available to watch on our YouTube channel.
Last year, we co-developed a set of Evaluation Principles for meaningful evaluation of cultural experiences. They promote evaluation as a means of structured learning, to help us develop our impact, value, resources, knowledge and capacity.
However, we recognise that following the principles in practice is easier said than done. So we developed a programme of workshops to explore together the very real challenges of applying the principles when carrying out evaluation.
In our second workshop, 'Listening to Many Voices', we asked the questions: how can we listen to all stakeholders when they don’t talk the same language, nor want the same things? How do we deal with conflicting messages – and indeed conflict in general? How can we hear the signal in the noise? How can we make the evaluation processes and outputs more representative and inclusive of the diverse communities involved in our work?
Hosted by Anne Torreggiani
Facilitated by Emma McDowell
For this workshop, we were joined by three speaker participants working in cultural evaluation:
Lara Ratnaraja, a freelance cultural consultant specialising in diversity, innovation, leadership, collaboration and cultural policy implementation within the HE, cultural and digital sectors.
Morvern Cunningham, a freelance creative who currently serves as Creative Lead at Culture Collective, a Scottish Government funded network of 26 participatory arts projects across Scotland.
Stephen Welsh, a creative freelancer specialising in co-creation with experience as a museum curator.
