Why choose this course?

Evaluating Social Programs (ESP) 2024 is a three-day in-person course that explores the use of monitoring and evaluation to drive sustainable social impact at scale.

Arts-based methods facilitate enriching, meaningfully messy, and – dare we say fun – ways to collaborate, collect data, and practice reflexivity. Just like a good survey or impactful interview, arts-based methods require a strong theoretical foundation, practice, and more practice. Anchored in practice, this 6-week online beginner course offers practicing evaluators 12 hours of original content, opportunities to learn 4 methods (photography, poetry, collage & drawing), hands-on skill-building, and a small/supportive learning community.
