Evaluation

The evaluation of the program took place during the program. This was completed through various activities where we adapted according to the participants. We also tried to make participants from all organizations feel comfortable and satisfied with all program activities during the 11 months. 

 All the results of the evaluation were on the program website.

Particularly, the evaluation was divided into the following sections:

(a) The initial evaluation took place through a discussion in an online meeting with the representatives of the organizations and through the online seminar with the participants of the program in March and April 2024 (online meeting with the participants). In this evaluation of the whole program, the program was analyzed and evaluated as an idea. If we received a positive evaluation, we all decided to keep the program as it was presented in the schedule, to ensure acceptance and unanimity in the actions of the participants and the bodies. 

(b) The next evaluation (Medium evaluation) was done by the participants during the first days of the Youth Exchange in Cyprus, in October 2024 (13 to 24 of October 2024). This evaluation was through the discussion on the third day of the program, where we listened to the suggestions and changes that we proposed to the participants, in order to make the stay of the participants more comfortable in the living and working space. The questions that were asked in this mid-term evaluation of education were about what they liked and did not like, what they expected as educational results, what they thought about the whole organization until that day and if there was anything that bothered them, they would move on. necessary changes through discussion. 

(c) A second evaluation by the participants was done on the last days (October 22, 2024) through an online questionnaire with multiple choice answers, open type questions for each activity and for the whole program up to that time. The results of the evaluation were analyzed and processed. The report was a discussion between all the trainers and the organizers of the training so that we could be better next time, in other similar training sessions. The results can be found in the following pdf file: 

(d) One more evaluation from the participants was given through their general report, which was sent to us after the end of all the activities of the project (during the 11 months of the project). Since the participants were active throughout the duration of the program, their opinions and evaluations were more reliable, and through this last report from them, we had their last assessment. 

(e) Beyond the evaluation reports, we also asked all organizations to write their own evaluation letters, to be evaluated by the participants' organizations for our whole implementation of the project. Each organization had one page on the project where all their follow-up activities were done. 

In addition, within Youthpass, participants had the opportunity to self-evaluate the results of the project. This evaluation took place one month after the completion of the workshops. Participants had distanced themselves from the educational process and thus had a more objective perception of their learning achievements. The questions that needed to be answered were related to the achievement of the learning objectives, skills, and personal development that were acquired during the program. Through the above evaluations, our organization received various views and we tried to improve in our future applications, to be more active and to "overcome" our weaknesses.
