1. Name of Lead Organisation: Project dates: Project Name: Evaluation Slides – The Argument Please use this template to summarise the work of your partnership, considering the needs of a broad readership. Be sure to insert plenty of photos, clips of film and audio files, scanned documents and participant comments wherever you possibly can. Anecdotes and quotations from those outside the project are helpful too. To add extra pages within a section, choose ‘Insert duplicate slide’, & delete unwanted text from new slide. The aim of The Argument is to create a way of collecting a range of evidence about what has changed to help you evaluate your project. But we also aim to contribute to a body of knowledge about how we evaluate creative interventions and make the case of creativity as central to our work. There are guidance notes at the foot of each page, and an accompanying document ‘Creativity and Risk’ that you may find useful. Stuck ? Call Judy on 01844 202001.
