Event overview

Nature Play WA recently took home the Australian Evaluation Society Award for Best Practice in Public Sector Evaluation. Nature Play WA CEO, Dr Kelsie Prabawa-Sear will join us to share insights into how a not-for-profit with an extremely modest budget designed and conducted evaluation for the community program, Nature Play in the Park, that was worthy of the evaluation award. Hint – partnerships and understanding the value of data. In addition to sharing the “what and how”, Kelsie will explore some broader evaluation aspects like how Nature Play WA uses evaluation to leverage funding, how the organisation is building a culture of evaluation when there is no funding for it, and what could be done with the growing bank of data collected through the program. Kelsie would welcome questions, ideas and conversations.
