The Evaluation Exchange: Use your research skills to make a difference
By s.duran, on 11 June 2021
EvaApplications are now open for the Evaluation Exchange, which is a partnership between UCL and voluntary and community sector organisations in Camden and east London that aims to improve evaluation practice.
Applications close 16 June 2021.
What will I do?
- Postgraduate students and researchers work collaboratively with organisations based in or working with communities in Newham and Camden.
- This year, 12 voluntary or community sector organisations will be matched with small teams of postgraduate students and researchers. They will work together for 6 months, from September/October 2021 – April 2022.
- During this time teams will have contact at least once a month and will work on a specific task or issue that will be agreed at the start of the project. The student team will enable the organisation to complete the agreed task.
- A work programme will be tailored to the needs of each organisation and work will be completed in partnerships between the organisation and students.
Why get involved?
- Enhance your research and evaluation skills in a real-world setting
- Create a lasting change in practice and make a valued contribution to an organisation
- Learn about the workings of community and voluntary organisations
- Build and establish a network of people working in this sector
What support will I receive?
- After matching you with a suitable organisation, you will be provided with training throughout the programme to help you make the most out of your experience.
- The Evaluation Exchange will also be on hand to provide ad hoc support and advice throughout the programme.
How can I apply?
