Fully funded places are available on a short course from Queen Margaret University exploring the processes and practices by which arts and cultural projects can be evaluated.
The module will begin by considering the social and political factors that mean it is increasingly expected that art and cultural projects should be evaluated. The focus will then shift to the practicalities of designing a project evaluation, from logic models and the theory of change, through to selecting from a range of qualitative methods, establishing a base line, generating and evaluating data, and producing a project evaluation report. Students will have the option of putting this learning into action by designing and executing an evaluation (if they have a suitable live project to work on).
The course will be delivered through a combination of face-to-face workshops, online seminars and self-directed learning. At the end of the course you will be required to undertake two assignments. The first is to design an evaluation for a cultural project and the second is to either undertake that evaluation or create an evaluation toolkit for a cultural organisation of your choice.
Thanks to support from the Scottish Government’s National Transitions Training Fund anyone aged 25 or over who is unemployed, at risk of redundancy, on furlough, or a recent university graduate without graduate level employment are able to undertake this course for free. Please indicate that you wish to be considered for one of these spaces in your application.
