Workshop and Symposium Resources
On this page you will find the handouts that we provide at our workshops. We provide 2 different kinds of workshop, details of which you will find below.
MEI Workshop 1 – Making your data shine
This workshop supports groups to build a data strategy based on their organisational values and provides an overview of the tools that are currently available to groups for measuring impact. A list of the tools covered with links to relevant websites is in our resource list below.
MEI Workshop 1 – websites tools and resources
MEI Workshop 2 – One-off encounters
On the basis of feedback from our first workshop we designed this hands-on session that looks specifically at the issue of how to collect meaningful data from short interventions or ‘one-off’ encounters with people seeking support.
The handout below sets out 6 steps designed to help groups communicate the importance of contact points or encounters to funders and some practical ideas for ensuring contact points with people seeking support are not over-burdened with data collection.
MEI Workshop 2 One-off Encounter Handout
In this workshop we recommend an exercise in which frontline workersdescribe a significant place and time in which people seeking support make contact with their organisation. They describe the encounter as a process and from the person seeking support’s point of view. Below is an example we use in the workshop.
Case Study – Short interventions
Most Significant Change
We have recently been recommending the use of the Most Significant Change approach to collecting data from the beneficiaries of a programme of support. This approach provides a basis for richer understanding of programme outcomes, as experienced by the people participating and benefitting from them and is easily communicated across teams.
