This month I am speaking at a European and International Research Symposium, called Evaluating the Impact of Arts and Cultural Education on Children and Young People with my colleague David Parker from Creative Partnerships (CP). We will be reporting on the methods we have developed to be able to capture the impact of this programme and how we have tried to move the research and evaluation framework for CP towards a more meaningful understanding of impact and effect. The paper we wrote as well as a video of the proceedings is available through the symposium website.
