Impact Lite Training & Community Building Taskforce

The Impact Lite training and community task force will develop an Impact Lite methodology based on the four phases of the Europeana Impact Playbook. This will distill the most essential elements of the four phases into one resource (PDF, interactive page, all tbc) and be accompanied by more interactive learning materials to help increase sector professionals' capacity in conducting impact assessments. In parallel, we want, by the end of the Task Force, to have an outline 'course' to take interested heritage professionals (and others) through a learning and capacity building journey where they'll learn and be able to use the core components of the Impact Playbook. This course should be light touch, easy to maintain and engaging for users. Examples could include an email course. We aim to invigorate the Europeana Impact Community through these actions.

The outcomes of the Task Force will support cultural heritage professionals and organisations in their digital transformation (building capacity in planning for impact). As with the first Impact Lite Task Force, the work will be performed in alignment with the work currently done in the inDICEs project, of which Europeana and Platoniq are project partners. In particular, this relates to the development of the InDICEs participatory platform and data analytics dashboard, whose functionality should benefit those applying Phase two of the Playbook. We will also align with the forthcoming Capacity Building Framework.

Task force goals

1. Develop an impact lite playbook or resource
2. Set out how a 'course' or structured way of working through the Impact lite playbook would work
3. In the long-term, improve the capacity of heritage sector professionals working on impact and invigorate the Europeana Impact Community as a home to discuss all things impact.
