I am very excited about all of the practical applications and ways I feel that I can utilize the course materials in my future practice. This course has added more to my personal tool kit than any other course I have taken at the UO. I feel that I have learned a great deal about evaluation. The use of evaluation tools throughout, as well as after a project or program ends, tells the community leader or cultural developer so much about the success or failure of the initiative. The European Evaluation Toolkit – ‘The Evaluation Journey’ had fun and quirky ways to measure success which I found useful and inspiring. I will definitely implement formal evaluation tools in my future programs.  I now understand the value that feedback and data collection can make for a community organizer.  In the future I will also utilize sharing circles with both the artists I work with and the communities I work in. I am very thankful to have taken this course. I am inspired as an artistic director as well as someone who is interested in social practice.
