Good Morning - Day 2
Monitoring and Evaluation
Break into two teams.
Using the alphabet write down words
which describe monitoring and
evaluation.
Brainstorm: Why is it important to
evaluate our projects?
www.leargas.ie
Magical things happen in a good project. Absorbed in
the making of a film, or a sculpture, or a scene from a
play, or a problem to solve… friendships form, skills
are built, a group of individuals become a team. And
you think…if people could just see this…
www.leargas.ie
www.leargas.ie
However, sometimes trying to capture that
magic can be difficult. This tool maps a range
of the outcomes that you can typically expect
in a youth arts project (though it is by no
means exhaustive) to help you decide the
priority outcomes you are hoping to see in your
project.
It supports you to measure progress when you
see it and think about how you will describe it.
www.leargas.ie
The following tool 'The Outcome Tree' will
help you think about what outcomes you
want to promote and support at
the design stage of your project –
beginning with the end in mind!(This was a Youth Arts project)

CAPTURING MAGIC
A Tool for Evaluating
Outcomes in Youth
Arts Projects
(Ways to track and measure
the magic in your project!)
You can download the resource from the link above and
adapt it to your circumstances!
www.leargas.ie
This resource will help you measure the outcomes of your youth arts project.
This set of scales is specially designed to provide a series of observable
behaviours in a group of young people taking part in an arts project - particularly
in a youth work setting - takes account of the 5 National Outcomes for Young
People (Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures: The National Policy Framework for
Children and Young People 2014-2020, Dept of Children and Youth
Affairs,2014) and the 7 Potent Mechanisms for Delivering Improvements to
Targeted Youth Programmes (Value for Money and Policy Review of Youth
Programmes, Dept of Children and Youth Affairs, 2014).

Tool: Now design your own
Outcome Tree
Step 1:
Design your own Outcomes Map for your
own Project
www.leargas.ie
Step 2:
Description of Outcomes
For each heading and subheading you
will describe in more detail the desired
outcomes(for examples look from page 6 to 10 of the Capturing Magic)
www.leargas.ie
Step 3: Measuring OutcomesTo record the development of your group using a set of scales which you
develop for your own unique project!
When developing a set of scales think about what is specific to your
method/project/target group.
The scales will help you to see if the project is having an effect. Being
honest about the effect your project is having will help
you think about any improvements you might make or things you want to
keep the same.

Workshop 2
Monitoring and Evaluation Plan
Mariola will take you through the plan.
Here are two templates/handouts and
make your M&E plan for your project!
www.leargas.ie
When talking about different evaluation
methods, what is your understanding of
qualitative and quantitative evaluation?
In groups explore these two types of
evaluation and write on post-its the
various methods used in both.

Workshop 3
In small groups discuss what you learned
from hearing about this best practice
project.
www.leargas.ie
To feed this info back to the plenary:
in your groups design the front page of a
newspaper from the future!
Make it fun and include the outcomes of
this project and how it has impacted our
future!
