How to collect better data to design better development: new training course in Joburg and Cape Town

Creative Consulting & Development Works has launched a training series to impart skills, kickstart rich conversations about creative evaluation practices, and use these to design more purposeful development programmes.

The second course of 2017 will introduce you to creative ways for collecting and presenting data. This popular and unique training received very positive feedback from participants in 2016. So don’t delay, sign up today!

There is significant value in using creative methods in research and evaluation processes.

This is particularly relevant when:

• sensitive issues or vulnerable populations are involved,
  
• issues are complex, nuanced or multi-faceted, and
  
• researchers and practitioners need to document and disseminate research findings and present data in a fresh, engaging and innovative way.

There are numerous other benefits, which we look forward to discussing with you on the course. Join us on these dates:

Cape Town:

Date: 8 – 9 March 2017
Venue: Doubletree Hilton Hotel, Woodstock
Cost: R4,900 incl VAT

Johannesburg:

During the two day workshop, you’ll be introduced to a range of creative, yet rigorous methods which you can use in future to collect, analyse, and present credible qualitative data.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Select an appropriate creative, qualitative data collection method for the research question being investigated or evaluation being conducted;
  
• Gain an in-depth understanding of various creative tools to collect qualitative data, such as storyboards, the use of diaries, appreciative inquiry, and transect walks, to name a few;
  
• Embed creative data collection in the research process in a way that facilitates analysis and improved reporting; and
  
• Gain skills in how to maximize the impact of the data collected through effective visualisation.
