Workshop abstract:
Making impact visible: How to evaluate cultural welfare practices
This workshop invites museum professionals to explore how cultural initiatives can generate meaningful social impact. Starting with a brief introduction to the Theory of Change and impact-oriented planning, we will focus on practical tools for evaluating the social outcomes of cultural and museum-based welfare projects. Participants will engage in a hands-on group session, selecting real projects to map out their value chain and co-define relevant impact indicators. By the end of the workshop, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to design and assess actions that strengthen their institution’s role as a driver of social well-being.
