EVPA and Social Value UK will use their in-depth knowledge of the practice of social impact measurement and management to help you learn how to maximize the impact you are generating. Due to physical and travel restrictions related to COVID-19, we have adapted this training to a virtual course.
The start date of the course will be 23 June beginning with a 3-hour live session from 09:00 - 12:00 (CET). You will gain access to EVPA's Learning Management System (LMS) for this course. The LMS will support participants by providing readings and assignments for an additional 2 hours a week over the course of two weeks in total. Three further live sessions (one of three hours and two sessions of two hours each) will take place on 25 June (09:00-12:00, CET), 30 June (10:00-12:00 CET), and 2 July (10:00-12:00 CET).
