Some of the process evaluation key findings
Challenges of that came up in the process evaluation
Developing prototypes to help share process evaluation findings with a young audience
Prior to the webinar, the HCDExchange and Itad teams collaborated to answer the question “How might we share the process evaluation findings with a young/youth audience?” To find some answers, we held a prototyping workshop with 8 young professionals who worked on the A360 project, from all three countries.
What is prototyping, you might ask?
“Design thinking is actually more about doing, and as an aspect of design thinking, prototyping was selected to model this workshop because it allowed us to build our thoughts and ideas into tangible forms. With prototyping the end result is not a generation of ideas but a tangible form of that idea.
Prototyping is also an experimental process that gives room for those participating to explore real world solutions on the spot. This also feeds into building the creative confidence of designers and all those engaged in prototyping.” – Heran Birhanu
We decided to use this approach rather than a focus group discussion or interview, to give us something tangible that we could then take and test. The youth participants broke out into two groups: young designers and young evaluators. Each was given a list of key findings from the evaluation and asked them to work towards a prototype for how we might share those findings with their respective audiences.
In this webinar, participants from the workshop shared an overview of their approach and the two prototypes that they developed.
