EVALUATION
The programme will be evaluated continuously throughout its duration. This will be accomplished along the course of the project. However, minor tweaks may be made to ensure that all organizations and participants are "comfortable" with the project's activities during its nine-month lifetime. As a result, we ensure the project's central idea remains stable and unchanging. One can find more details in Annex 01 attached to this application. Suppose the evaluations reveal a compelling need to modify certain aspects of our proposal. In that case, we will first approach our National Agency to ascertain their acceptance and approval to proceed with the modifications. The evaluation's complete results will be available on the program's webpage.
Particularly, the evaluation can be divided into the following sections:
(a) Initial Evaluation will be held via a webinar discussion with the representatives from the organizations and a webinar with the participants in April 2023. In this evaluation, the whole timetable of the program will be analyzed and evaluated as an idea. As a result, if we receive a positive assessment, we will collectively decide to maintain the timetable as it is scheduled now by ensuring the acceptance and unanimity of participants and their organizations on all activities and actions.
b) The next evaluation (Middle evaluation) will be conducted by the participants during the first days of the PDA in Portugal in July of 2023 (13th to 20th). This evaluation will take place during a discussion on the third day of the PDA, during which we will hear what changes participants suggest to improve their stay in the hotel and working space. The questions that will be raised during this middle evaluation of the training concern what they liked and disliked, what they expect as educational outcomes, what they think about the whole organization up to that point, and whether there is anything that bothers them in order to implement any necessary changes and adaptations.
(c) Another evaluation of participants will take place on the final day of the activities (19th of July 2023) through an online questionnaire with multiple choice and open-ended questions about each activity and the whole project up to that point. The evaluation's findings will be analyzed and published on the program's website. The evaluation report will be used to facilitate discussion among all trainers and organizers of the training in order to improve performance in future comparable training sessions. Additionally, the results will be posted on the program's website.
(d) In addition to the abovementioned, a more accurate evaluation will be conducted via a general report that all organizations must produce to evaluate our activities, as well as the meeting venue, the meals, the social events, and generally all the logistics and stages. The evaluation of the organizations will come through the reports and dissemination that participants will do in their home countries concerning the program results.
(e) In addition to the evaluation reports, we will request that all organizations write their own evaluation letters through the assistance of the participants in order to obtain an overall report from each organization for the whole implementation of the project.
Moreover, participants will have the opportunity to self-evaluate the project's results through the Youthpass framework, according to what they believe they have gained subjectively. This evaluation will take place one month after the completion of the workshops. The participants will have distanced themselves from the educational process and thus will have a more objective perspective of their educational outcomes. The questions will be related to the attainment of learning objectives, the acquisition of skills, and personal growth that occurred during the programme. Our organization will receive numerous opinions as a result of the aforementioned evaluations, and we will work to enhance our future applications, be more proactive and prudent in multiple areas, and overcome our current weaknesses.
