IDEA is excited to be launching the new Theory of Impact for GCE tool on Thursday 19 May ( register here ). IDEA is now recruiting a group of members to pilot the new tool to measure our collective impact. This is a really exciting opportunity to be part of a first wave of measuring the collective impact of our GCE work in Ireland. We hope to have 20-25 members of IDEA involved in the pilot and we will provide plenty of support along the way. The pilot process starts with a training session as part of the launch of tool on Thursday 19 May ( register here ). The pilot process will be led by IDEA staff and will support IDEA members to strengthen capacity to measure the impact of DE/GCE work and input relevant data into a common tool enabling us to articulate our impact as a sector. The pilot of this tool supports the roll-out of our collective Theory of Impact for GCE developed by IDEA members and launched in 2025. The following schedule is in place for the pilot process: 19 May Launch of the tool and Training May – July Pilot time for IDEA members including support from IDEA Mid- August Close the pilot September Feedback from members involved in piloting Mid August – mid September Analysis of the data in the tool September Presentation of findings on the collective impact of GCE Please contact lizzy@ideaonline.ie to book your place as part of the pilot or to ask any questions related to the process.
