Project Summary
Delivering a structure for an evaluation of BLAST Fest’s stakeholder engagement and social innovation leadership to inform their future strategy.
Project Description
BLAST Fest is a pop-up festival and community engagement platform that explores science and technology through Black arts and cultural spaces.
The aim of this project will be to structure an
evaluation of BLAST Fest’s stakeholder engagement and social innovation
leadership in order to inform their future strategy and funding decisions. These stakeholders include scientists,
researchers, engineers and artists who have contributed to BLAST Fest events and
those who have signed up to attend the events or receive news about them. Through
facilitated workshops, surveys and/or other techniques, the volunteer will draw
together qualitative (and where possible, quantitative) evidence to inform a
thematic analysis or theory of change of how BLAST Fest’s stakeholder
engagement and social innovation leadership delivers value in terms of impact
and inclusion, including indicators to measure outcomes.
Previous experience of evaluation would be desirable.
Location: All the work can be done remotely (Blast Fest is based in Birmingham). The volunteer will need to be able to access video meetings.
Commitment: 5 days worth of work over a few months.
Desired project start date: October 2021
Desired project completion date: December 2021
BLAST Fest is a pop-up festival and community engagement platform that explores science and technology through Black arts and cultural spaces. The organization uses a ‘flipped engagement’ approach, where the ideas for science engagement are generated and initiated from within the community, and BLAST Fest then ‘reaches out’ to the STEM sector to help co-create an exciting programme of activities and events.
