No full textRachel Blanche - ORCID: 0000-0001-7067-5108
https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7067-5108This week, Mark interviews Rachel Blanche from Queen Margaret University Edinburgh to find out how arts-based methods can provide depth and rigour to an impact evaluation. They discuss a range of approaches including visual, performative and narrative methods, the types of evidence these methods can generate, how these approaches can empower participants in determining what’s meaningful, and how evaluating in this way can itself generate further impacts.
Rachel shares two examples of arts-based methods used to evaluate impact in healthcare research – a theatre project capturing data on dementia care (citing this paper) and (a participative creative inquiry on osteoporosis.https://www.fasttrackimpact.com/podcast/episode/50189383/episode-39-how-arts-based-methods-can-enrich-your-evaluation-of-impact-with-dr-rachel-blanchepubpu

Crynodeb o’r Canfyddiadau Allweddol: Dirnadaeth ymarferwyr yng Nghymru o werth ac effaith Egwyddorion Ansawdd Artworks Cymru ar gyfer ymarfer a datblygiad proffesiynol
No full textItem not available in this repository.The material presented in this paper was gathered during June-August
2020 via an online survey of practitioners in Wales using the ArtWorks
Cymru Quality Principles toolkit and framework. A total of 18 practitioners
returned detailed survey responses, representing a range of arts
organisations in Wales as well as professional and student freelance
practices (listed at the end of this report). The survey sought to capture
details of how practitioners have applied the quality approach at the heart
of the toolkit, and where and how they see value in it for their practice.
The survey in Wales was conducted as part of a larger study including
Scotland and Portugal where practitioners in participatory arts have
adopted a quality approach similar to the Quality Principles in Wales. For
a full report detailing findings across all three countries, please see: A
Holistic Approach for Quality In Participatory Arts: Impacts On Practice

arolwg ar-lein o ymarferwyr yng Nghymru sy’n defnyddio pecyn offer a
fframwaith Egwyddorion Ansawdd Artworks Cymru. Dychwelodd
cyfanswm o 18 o ymarferwyr atebion manwl i’r arolwg, yn cynrychioli

ymarferwyr wedi defnyddio’r dull ansawdd sy’n ganolog i’r pecyn offer, a
ble a sut y maent yn gweld gwerth ynddo ar gyfer eu hymarfer.
Cynhaliwyd yr arolwg yng Nghymru fel rhan o astudiaeth fwy yn cynnwys
yr Alban a Phortiwgal lle mae ymarferwyr mewn celfyddydau cyfranogol
wedi mabwysiadu dull ansawdd tebyg i’r Egwyddorion Ansawdd yng
Nghymru. Am adroddiad llawn yn rhoi manylion y canfyddiadau ar draws
