Lewis Carroll, Alice in wonderland Working on Im Impact in in - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." Lewis Carroll, Alice in wonderland

Working on Im Impact in in Erasmus+ in in The Netherlands NA Education&Training and NA Youth Malta, March 2017, Saskia Verhagen

This presentation will take you through: • Points of departure • Schematic approach • Examples projects • Rationale, strategies • Key interventions including status and opportunities

Untangli ling Im Impact in in the NA……. Some characteristics: • Building on piloting and experimenting in 2015/2016 • From overarching strategy and common language to DIY tools • Qualitative and quantitative approach • Talking about change instead of impact (based on Theory of Change-thinking) • Adapting to EC terminology ( for e.g. levels of impact & ‘ desired ’ and ‘ expected ’ impact) • Joint NA Youth and NA E&T Working Group Impact

NL NA has three rationales for focusing on impact…. Being Learning Positioning Accountable and and Improving Branding

I N P U T O U T C O M E I M P A C T O U T P U T A C T I V I T I E S … (use of outputs) Expected Desired Impact impact P l a n n e d W o r k I n t e n d e d r e s u l t s e.g. publications, e.g. resources and e.g. methodology, e.g. Change in e.g. Change in reports • staff work Competence lifes • Knowledge • Perception • Policy • Ed. practice Under Under direct Can be controlled indirect influence influence

Example KeyAction1 1. Plan backwards • Analyze what you think you are contributing to I N P U T O U T C O M E I M P A C T O U T P U T A C T I V I T I E S (use of outputs) • Decide what type of Desired Expected results you need Impact impact • Design your activities , 2. Monitoring and P l a n n e d W o r k I n t e n d e d r e s u l t s reporting • What Signs of Change • # mobilities Change @ Change in • Time • Organising will occur? • staff Individual employability, • Finances mobilities • • Organisation # mobilities behaviour • • Knowledge How will you measure al students • • Systemic Ppt reports them? (NA) • What will you do when Under you seem not to be Under direct Can be controlled indirect influence achieving your influence expected impact?

Concrete KA1… Challenges; ECHE and VET Charter VET project x HE project y : SE project • Expected impact: • Expected impact: quality motivation building, • Expected impact: of art education inclusion Adapted teaching • Approach: incoming • Approach : selection • Approach: Learning mobility, partner process, accompanying Agreement, partners selection staff, relation partners • Indicators: focus groups, • Indicators: tbd • Indicators : individual observations, interviews, observations

KA2 approach Relevance Problem analysed? What needs to change? What else is happening? Are YOU the actor to push for this change?? Partnerships Which actors are needed to achieve change? Project management Design Monitor & Measure Adapt Achieving change (impact)

Strategies 2017-2020 1. Enabling (running and new)projects to achieve maximum impact 2. Harvest stories and proof of impact from (running and closed) projects 3. Research larger scale (national) impact

1. Enabling (running and new)projects to achieve maximum impact • Training of all NA staff • Tools and presentations per step of project cycle. • Guide on impact for projects (internal and external), • Extra training and events ( for example new KA2 applicants training, project design support) • Training of all experts Status: draft versions available Opportunities : collaboration on tools, guide and training.

2. Harvest stories and proof of impact from projects • Thematic impact focus per year ( professionalisation, inclusion, employability, personal development ) • Thematic Theory of Change and questions to answer Qualitative and Quantitative activities: • Stories of Change collection • Analysis of ppts reports • Linking and Learning events with partners • Etc Status: Thematic focus decided, Working Group formed, Opportunities: Link to the TCAs?

3. Research larger scale (national) impact • 4 year action research; quantitative and qualitative • “ Where and how does Erasmus + add value through mobilities” Status : Design phase, discussions with national research institutes on added value of international mobility Opportunities : Sharing design.

KA1 Expected types of impact Supportive approach/questions Do we expect impact occurring Possible tools ( to in or after projects? measure or to start discussion)HYPERLINKS Individual level ALWAYS Effects on staff and or students Focus group discussions L&L on inclusion  Staff and student level Personal growth Analysis of ppts reports L&L on professionalization  Motivation Observations Key messages:   Intercultural competences Story telling Students and staff; learn more when  Language Tests pre departure expected learning outcomes are defined.  Link your selection process to your expected impact  Organisational aims linked to staff mobility is a win. Organisational level ALMOST ALWAYS, only for new Improved teaching (didactics, Link to selection process; what is your projects organisational level interpersonal skills, motivation, Focus groups expected impact, so what does that mean impact can be minimal; vakkennis) Qualitative analysis of for whom you select? Improved adaptability of sectors innovations. Is there a conscious choice? or units Are people going on mobility aware of what Improved international position Xxxx is the expected impact on organisational of the school level? Improved inclusion NO Systemic level Not individual projects, but the (sustainable Changes NA researches the effect of KA 1 outside the school or together on partners, policy level- Professionalization and social local national? ) inclusion European level. POSSIBLE International curricula, cross Analysis of networks? border employment ( Euregios? Focus groups Sectoral?) etc.

1. Understand HOW CHANGE HAPPENS in the contexts that you are working in 6. Continuously MONITOR CHANGE and your change 2. Identify YOUR ROLE in pathway; and TEST ASSUMPTIONS. Adapt if contributing to these necessary changes 3. Develop A CAUSAL PATHWAY illustrating 5. Develop a MEL how your efforts will framework for your TOC . contribute to identified changes 4. Identify THE ASSSUMPTIONS that will need to be tested through life of programme
