The aim is to make cogent and salient arguments, informed by the critical concerns of collaborative \/socially engaged practice at both an institutional and most particularly a policy level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"custom\"><br>How does it work?<\/h2>\n<p>The research phase has concluded and the evaluative register is in progress. A special In Conversation event was held in 2020 with renowned US-based art historian and educator Grant Kester, and Gr\u00e1inne Coughlan, Independent Researcher and PhD candidate TU Dublin. The event was chaired by Professor Kerstin Mey, President, University of Limerick. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.create-ireland.ie\/publication\/in-conversation-grant-kester\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Listen to the recording here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How can I get involved?<\/h2>\n<p>The evaluative register is currently in progress.

From the evaluation we yield quantitative information such as the numbers attending events, the numbers of partners, the numbers of events, and how much is expended on festival events. However, perhaps more significantly we also gather more information on who is coming to our events, how they view our events and what they would like to see more of, as well as other critical feedback.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Following the festival in May, we conduct this evaluation using a combination of organisation survey and desk work, as well as collecting audience surveys distributed through the festival partners.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How can I get involved?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Every year after the festival, audience surveys will be made available to attendees.
