Evaluating public engagement: Innovative, effective methods that work!

Using the Queen Mary Public Engagement Evaluation Toolkit, participants will not only learn how to design an effective evaluation, but be inspired to approach engagement activities with an innovative and critical eye. We will explore a broad range of methodologies, from the simplest and most cost-effective, to the more complex.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate a broad range of methodologies

• Choose the right evaluation method for their project

• Begin to strategize how their chosen method could be worked into their project plan
