We just launched our website! Loads about values-based, complexity-informed, practice-integrated evaluation. (If you like that kind of thing) https://t.co/3xskuyn5qG
@listeningfund have put together some excellent work around how learning and evaluation processes involve young people https://t.co/OVMuE3sGbA (OK, it's true, i'm most excited because we're in there... been a blast working with the wonderful Sarah Rose)
💪 Youth work was vital to young people’s physical & mental wellbeing through the pandemic & after.

@DaveRJClose @HotChocoTrust “We must reclaim the evaluation process. It’s not about counting. We must integrate the way we measure change with our values, our youth work practice. Serving young people first and the funders last.” @DaveRJClose#YouthLinkPolicyCon

‘Young people are complex. When we count them by their attributes or not by their wholeness, we lose some of them.” - @DaveRJClose from @HotChocoTrust is making some insightful points as we think through the impact of eval measures in Youth Work. #YouthLinkPolicyCon
@DaveRJClose @HotChocoTrust “We should not measure change in pre-determined ways. When we count young people by their attributes and not their wholeness we lose the possibility to collaborate with them.” 🙌🙌@HotChocoTrust @DaveRJClose#YouthLinkPolicyCon

“You opened a lightbulb for me” My favourite feedback after our workshop today (we both agreed that’s not how lightbulbs work)
Thanks @cisweb for inviting us to talk about evaluation that values whole, complex humans
Workshop with @HotChocoTrust love idea of writing a letter, ties in with ideas of Non violent communication too so something to explore #CiSAC22@cisweb

It's not often that an evaluation database is described as "f**king cool" - to be clear, that's what one of the young people @HotChocoTrust called it... definitely not a quote from this case study.
Thanks for this conversation @EvalSupScot (and conversations over years!)
We wrote about @HotChocoTrust, a youth work organisation, who have designed a database for measuring their impact which is now available for other youth and community organisations. Read about it in our latest blog! https://t.co/0pS6gIJRaP
