Reimagining Evaluation Reports to Create Real Impact

Demonstration | Online

About the Event

Traditional evaluation often prioritizes producing reports rather than driving real impact, learning, and equity. ‘Impact in Practice’ is a new approach that shifts the focus from static reporting to dynamic, stakeholder-centered evaluation

In this interactive session, we will explore how evaluation can be reimagined to enhance learning, inspire action, and contribute to systems change. Through practical examples and audience engagement, we’ll showcase alternative approaches to evaluation reporting that better serve diverse stakeholders, such as learning festivals, visual arts, and films.

We will challenge conventional assumptions and explore creative, actionable ways to make evaluation more meaningful and impactful. ‘Impact in Practice’ is an evolving framework inviting early adopters to refine and give feedback on this approach.
