S3 Ep 1: Empathy

Hosted by Stephen Welsh, this episode of Reflecting Value: Evaluation Principles in Practice explores the role of empathy in evaluation.

One of the 'people-centred' Evaluation Principles, empathy can be elusive. It can be hard to talk about it practically. But if we want to make evaluation count, we have to make it count for everyone.

What steps can we take to be more understanding evaluators? How can we create a safe evaluation environment - one that can bring in missing voices with unique opinions? And how can we overcome our own expectations of an evaluation so that it really gives back to our audiences and participants?

Join us as we discuss listening, failure and 'hanging out' - and what they all have to do with empathy in evaluation.

This episode features conversations with Alex de Little (http://www.alexdelittle.com/), Morvern Cunningham (https://twitter.com/morvc) and Rising Arts Agency (https://rising.org.uk/).
