About EVR

Here is a list of our main focuses for the next year:

Evaluation for programme development: Comments from 2008 were used to revise and improve PDPEF for use in 2009. Forms from 2009 have been processed and results fed back. Developments are in hand for further improvements in procedures and use of a web-based system for the future.

Educational Resources - Implementation and Impact of the Passport, Activity Template, ‘Big Ed’ and Library. First steps in this will involve looking at awareness of these resources throughout CISV and how the documents (especially the Passport) are used in NAs / Chapters both for educational planning and for other purposes such as PR/Marketing, engaging parental interest, etc. Research methods are being developed in conjunction with Birkbeck College, London, GB.

TTT Implementation and Impact: Consideration will be given to the place of TTTs within RTFs, effectiveness of the International Pool of Trainers system, development of educational and other content within TTTs in addition to training methods and the impact of the TTT on the quality of training within CISV. Research methods for this are being developed in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati, USA. EVR remains open to suggestions for other research projects and maintains contact with researchers outside the formal CISV structure, including Dr Claudio Baraldi in Modena, Italy.
