Join this free online, day-long, practical workshop on evaluation, developing sustainable engagement practice, and evidencing the value of engagement.  

‘Evaluation, sustainability and making a case’ is the second event in the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement’s online Environmental Engagement in Practice programme and will take place on Thursday 12 January 2023 at 10am – 4pm

During this workshop you will be supported to develop a strong evaluation plan and ethical evaluation practice, hear from experienced speakers on the tools they have found most useful, and explore how to advocate for the value of engagement. This will include sessions on how to write engagement into funding applications, and evidencing impact through case studies.

The day will include talks, interactive workshops, and networking, with opportunities for you to join breakout discussions with fellow practitioners and reflect on your own practice. It is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
