Sub Group ‘Evaluation’

by Katrin Uhl

Evaluation in the field of democracy-, human rights- and tolerance-education is a matter of growing importance, especially for practitioners. Many organizations working in the field see themselves confronted with the necessity of evaluating their programs, often however, without having a lot of experience with evaluation methods and instruments.

Bearing that in mind, the network’s subgroup on evaluation set itself the goal of creating a workshop on evaluation, directed at the specific needs of practitioners in the field. Based on the ideas collected during the last network conference, the subgroup met in Munich this March to further develop the workshop-concept.

The idea behind the concept was to give practitioners in the field the knowledge and tools to first of all assess their needs in terms of evaluation and as a second step choose the appropriate methods and instruments accordingly. Out of this motivation grew the concept for a one-day workshop, introducing participants to evaluation and its relevance and implication for the field.

With the help of a series of activities the workshop provides an overview of and introduction to evaluation methods and tools and discusses broader questions related to evaluation. The workshop will be tested in August during the next network meeting. It is planned to provide an evaluation-resource guide along with the workshop.
