Course Focus… Evaluating Youth Arts
Our Evaluating Youth Arts course, recently took place at the BALTIC in Gateshead. This is what one of the course participants had to say about the day…
The evaluation workshop was extremely useful. Rammed full of relevant activities and providing plenty of new tools and approaches to take away, it enabled me to reassess how I use evaluation within my practice. It challenged me to integrate evaluation more fully in the planning of different projects and encouraged me to take more creative approaches. I’ve since used some of the methods of evaluation and have found them to be very helpful.
The next Evaluating Youth Arts course will be on Thursday 8th February at the Mac, Birmingham. Click here to book or for more info.
