Measuring Impact in Global Citizenship Education

The quality and impact of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) are both important considerations for organisations, researchers and practitioners alike. Arguably, the quality dimension has been explored and addressed more comprehensively in recent years through, in part, the IDEA code of Good Practice for Development Education (https://www.ideaonline.ie/Code-of-good-practice-development-education). Saolta is providing an opportunity and a space to grapple with the thorny subject of impact, to those organisations, researchers and practitioners who are either doing or are considering doing GCE in the Adult and Community Education (ACE) sector . This opportunity will take the shape of an online workshop and will include an input by Bobby McCormack who in 2011 was the resident expert at the DEEEP summer school on "Quality and Impact in Development Education".

Impact assessment, if approached creatively, can support our efforts in identifying the transformation our collective work is contributing to and, if signposted effectively, can also help build confidence and engender commitment to our sector more generally from policymakers and funders.

Saolta is offering this workshop to those in the ACE sector who are eager to capture and share the fruits of their efforts but have questions relating to the practical or philosophical dimensions of impact measurement.
