The evaluation journey: a toolkit for cultural operators
How to define value in the cultural sector? How to get communities and stakeholders involved, and keep them involved? And how to make sure that the conclusions do not end up in a drawer?
With this digital toolkit, we hope to encourage and facilitate access to evaluation, as well as help navigate other existing toolkits and resources on the topic. Evaluation is a very relevant element of everyday cultural and artistic work and has been deeply explored in recent years by European networks and their members. As a network of cultural centres, we gave special thought to our members - cultural operators working in cultural centres, on a local or European level, who in their daily work may reach for tools to evaluate their project, programme and/or organization. But these tools will also be useful for all arts and cultural professionals interested in evaluation. The publication has generally been designed to support people working in organisations with limited budgets and limited human resources for evaluation.
