SUMMARY:Continuing Education: University of Liverpool: Seminar: 'Challenges
  for evaluation in the arts and culture'
DESCRIPTION:‘Challenges for Evaluation’ An autumn 2015 series of semina
 rs organised by the Centre for Lifelong Learning of the University of Liv
 erpool working in collaboration with Praxis (http://praxiscic.co.uk/) and 
 sponsored by the UK Evaluation Society (http://www.evaluation.org.uk/)\n\
 nThe 2nd evaluation on 2 December should be of particular interest as it f
 ocuses upon evaluation in the ‘arts and culture’. The seminar leader i
 s Dr Beatriz García\, one of the leading evaluators nationally and intern
 ationally in this field.\n\nRationale\nEach of these seminars will address
  the current state of evaluation in the area of focus and will explore th
 e challenges facing evaluators working within them. Many different types o
 f evaluation are conducted across service organisations\, government agen
 cies\, third sector organisations\, community projects and academic depar
 tments across the north-west just as is the case in other geographical re
 gions. Usually\, the evaluators concerned work in relative isolation from 
 one another interacting only with commissioners\, stakeholders and specia
 list colleagues. However\, without the interaction of evaluators with one
  another the development professional networks cannot happen. This series
  of seminars\, each led by evaluation specialists prominent in their field
 s\, will contribute to the longer term aim of establishing a community of
  evaluators in the north-west.\n\nThese seminars will be of interest to pr
 ofessionals involved in commissioning\, designing\, conducting and using 
 in each of the sectors focussed upon across the series of four. They will 
 support professional contacts and networking\, and will make possible fut
 ure initiatives to deepen understanding of what evaluation can offer prof
 essional development and organisational improvement. Academics involved i
 n evaluation of any kind will also benefit by attending. Postgraduate stu
 dents in the social and health sciences may also have an interest in engag
 ing with the questions and issues raised within the seminar discussions.\
 n\nCosts*\nThe seminars cost £35 to attend.\n(£30 for members of the UK 
 Evaluation Society\; £25 for post-graduate students)\n* Excluding VAT\n\n
