Impact Lite Training & Community Building Taskforce
Impact Lite Playbook and guided learning
A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.
About this process
This Task Force builds further on the outcomes of the original Impact Lite Task Force (External link) and aims to develop an Impact Lite methodology and to make this an interactive learning experience.
The Impact Lite training and community task force (External link) will develop an Impact Lite methodology based on the four phases of the Europeana Impact Playbook (External link). 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 (External link) (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 (External link), 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.
