For the social and creative economy, measuring social impact (MSI) is almost as topical as it is important. Communicating the impact of your project can be critical to its sustainability.

EGO will be holding a training day providing practical insights into MSI. Structured to demystify, our methodology is premised on the idea that measurement and evaluation, as with other key skillsets, is not just for academics or consultants: anyone can do it.

Contributing to the process of community-building around social innovation, our grassroots approach empowers changemakers with practical know-how and opportunities for creative collaboration.

Thursday 9th December, 10am start – 4pm
Location: Hub Melbourne, Donkey Wheel House, 673 Bourke St, Melbourne
