Introduction to Co-Design & Evaluation

Details

Duration: 2 days
Date: Thu 7th and Fri 8th of November, 2019
Time: 9:00am - 4:30pm both days
Location: Melbourne CBD (Location TBC)
Different design approaches, such as design thinking, human centred design and co-design, have become more and more popular over the last ten years as a means of addressing complex problems. These approaches are underpinned by an emphasis on understanding and incorporating the ‘human’ that experiences problems or issues first hand. With the use of different design approaches increasing across society, there is a need for clarity over what these design approaches are, what they mean for staff who design and deliver programs that draw on such approaches.

Similarly, evaluation is a key aspect of project and program delivery, and yet it is often left to the end or is an afterthought. In some ways this occurs because of a lack of familiarity with when and how to embed evaluation into programs. Ultimately, good evaluation practice starts during the design process and provides a way to continuously improve and demonstrate impact.

​This unique two-day workshop brings together the worlds of design and evaluation to provide participants with the opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills in program design and evaluation.

Delivered in collaboration with White Light Education.

Introduction to Social Network Analysis

Details

Duration: 1 Day
Date: Wed 30th of October, 2019
Time: 9:00am - 4:30pm
Location: Melbourne CBD (location TBC)
Social network analysis (SNA) is a particularly useful approach for capturing the structure and interactions of the networks and connections that exist between individuals, groups and organisations. SNA provides a framework for collecting and analysing data and displaying it through network maps.

This workshop will introduce attendees to the theory and practice of SNA, including its application in community engagement, program planning and evaluation. Developed as an introductory-level workshop with no prior knowledge needed, participants will finish the day equipped to undertake SNA in their own contexts.
