Evaluation

The evaluation of the program will be continuous during the implementation of the whole timetable of the program. This will be achieved through the project. However, minor changes may be made, with aim that all the organisations and participants will feel "comfortable" with all the activities of the project as it is working for the whole duration of 12 months. Therefore, we ensure the firmness of the main idea of the whole project and that it is not going to change. On the timetable and the call for partners organizations, which we attach with this application are mentioned all the activities which are going to be held. If through the evaluations becomes a great need to change some things on our application, we will contact, first, our National Agency to ensure whether they accept to proceed to the changes. If we receive their approval, then we will do the changes. All the results of the evaluation will be shared on the Facebook group of the participants and on the webpage of the program.

Particularly, the evaluation can be divided in the following sections:

(a) Initial Evaluation will be held through a discussion in the first online meeting with the representatives of the organizations and through the meeting with the participants of this project on April and May 2023 respectively. In this evaluation the whole timetable of the program will be analyzed and evaluated as an idea. Therefore, since we will receive positive assessment, we will decide all together to keep the program as it is presented on the timetable, to secure their acceptance and their unanimity on all the actions by the participants and the organizations.

(b) Next evaluation (Middle evaluation) will be done from the participants during first days of the Training, In October of 2023 (21 to 30 of October, including travelling days) in Cyprus. This evaluation will be accomplished through a discussion on the third day of the training, when we will hear what changes the participants suggest, to make the stay of the participants in the accommodation and working space more comfortable. Questions that will be raised in this middle evaluation of the training concern what they like and what they did not like, what they expect as educational results, what they think about the whole organization until that day and whether there is something that bothers them, to proceed to the necessary changes through discussion.

(c) A second evaluation of the participants was done on the last day of the activities (October 29, 2023) through an online questionnaire with multiple-choice answers and open-type questions for each activity, as well as the whole project until that time. The results of this evaluation were analyzed. The evaluation report is going to be a discussion between all the trainers and organizers of the training to be able to be better next time, in other similar trainings. The results of this evaluation by the participants can be downloaded here. 

(d) A more accurate evaluation in addition to the above mentioned, will be done through a general report which must be written by all the organisations to evaluate our activities, as well as the meeting venue, the meals, the social events and generally all the logistics and all the stages. The evaluation of the organizations will come through the reports and the dissemination that participants will do in their countries concerning the results of the program.

(e) One more evaluation from the participants will be held through their general report, which will send to us after the end of all the activities of the project (during the 12 months of the project). Since the participants will be active in the whole duration of the program, their opinion and their evaluation will be more reliable and through this last report from them we will have their last assessment.

(f) Beyond the evaluation reports, we will ask also from all organisations to write their own evaluation letters, to be evaluated also from the participants organisations for our whole implementation of the project.

Moreover, under the Youthpass framework the participants will have the chance to self-evaluate the projects results. 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 perception of their learning achievements. The questions needed to be answered will be relevant to the achievement of learning objectives, the learning of skills and personal development, which will have been gained during the program. Through the abovementioned evaluations, our organisation will receive many opinions, and we will try further to be improved in our future applications, to be more active and more sensible in several things and to "get over" our current weaknesses
