Creating Impact. The below model demonstrates how you can create impact and provides examples to illustrate each step of the process. This model begins with identifying the rationale for Project activities, that is, the needs of your Participants and any other relevant stakeholders. This rationale establishes a baseline from which progress can be measured. You should then make sure that all the Project activities and results fit well with your rationale. Here are some practical suggestions to evaluate the outcomes and impacts of your Projects: Use an evaluation form that Participants can complete to evaluate different aspects of the Mobility as well as the impact it has had on them. Ask Participants to complete forms at different stages of the Project, so they can better measure the developments and differences. For instance, they can fill in forms before, during and after their Mobility, as long as the evaluation form contains the same type of questions in order to allow you to draw comparisons. If you have a small number of Participants, you could also interview them at different stages. For short Mobility periods, give Participants daily diaries, which ask how the activities undertaken have had an impact on their needs and met the aims they have set for themselves. Be clear with your Participants that these diaries are not a private account and that they will be shared. A common format would help with this. Explore some innovative evaluation tools such as Blob Tree. This tool uses a simple cartoon image of non-specific characters and asks you to consider which character you most identify with. It could be suitable if you are trying to elicit views from Participants who may not be comfortable expressing themselves verbally. Use any existing KPIs within your department or organisation and link them to your Project. Although the immediate impact is likely to be on the Participants, do not forget to capture the full impact the Project has had or will have on other stakeholders and your organisation, as well as on people at all levels of the Project including partners and yourself as Project manager. It is important to effectively report on the impact of your Project within your Project’s Final Report. To prepare for this you should check your application to remind yourself of the Project’s expected impact, and the methods you planned to use in order to create and capture impact. At the Final Report stage, you will be expected to report as a minimum on your planned impacts a...
