Design, Delivery and Evaluation of a Youth Arts Programme

Training Details

This training equips participants with an overview of the skills necessary to design and evaluate a Youth Arts project in a youth work setting. This training will explore evaluation approaches that capture the work you do with young people with a key focus on the Capturing Magic Evaluation Resource.

The Capturing Magic Resource is a guide to evaluating outcomes in Youth Arts projects and was designed to support youth workers / practitioners to measure outcomes for young people. This training provides practical tips on how to use this resource to capture key outcomes for Youth Arts projects.

This online training will be interactive and include lots of opportunities for activities, discussion and small group work in breakout rooms as well as key inputs and presentations. Training resources will be shared with participants.

Delivered by the National Youth Arts and Cork City Council.
