This is an introductory course introducing the key concepts and importance of evaluation in conservation education, how to design evaluation projects and interpret and apply the results.

Additional information:

The course will be hosted via Zoom, so participants will need a device with a reliable internet connection and preferably a camera. Participants should also have access to Microsoft Excel or related data analysis software.

Participants are expected to attend both days of this two day course. The interim period is intended to allow participants time to engage in self-reflection and consider how to integrate their learning into their daily practice.

Come prepared with examples of either previous projects or future plans for conservation education programmes.
