Precious Cargo
Emma worked with Renaissance Yorkshire to support the 15 Precious Cargo partners in evaluating their work effectively to demonstrate the individual, social and organisational impact of the programme. The work involved using and developing the MLA/Collections Trust evaluation framework developed specifically for the Stories of the World partners and ensuring that effective data collection methods were in place. As well as supporting partners with their own evaluation, Emma wrote a series of case studies to demonstrate the impact of the projects and the partnership.
Emma also worked with a group of young people to support them in developing their own creative evaluation of the project. The group visited to each others' venues and worked with a professional film-maker to create a film that gives their perspective on the successes and impacts of the project.
