Evaluation

A questionnaire with multiple choice and open type questions for each activity and the whole project will be created.
By the end of the training workshop the participants will be asked to complete the questionnaire and help us improve and become better. In addition, a general report will have to be written by all participants so that we will be able to evaluate all training activities, as well as the meeting venue,  the meals, the social events and generally all the logistics.

Moreover, under the Youthpass framework the participants will have the chance to self-evaluate the projects outcomes.
This will take place one month after the completion of the workshops, so that participants have distanced themselves from the educational process and thus will have a more realistic perception of their learning achievements. The questions to be answered will be related to the achievement of learning objectives, the learning of skills and personal development that occurred during the program.

Evaluation from Participants NOFEE

Here we will try to represent all the results from the evaluation. All the results are in percentage  

 

The questionnaire is divided into 4 parts. The first part is for the food that we had in the camp, second part is for hospitality in the camp, 3rd part is for learning activities which we want to be better in our organisation and 4th part is for the whole project, for all activities that we had during the Training, Non Formal Environmental Education.

Any problems with your visit? No problem report from any participants, just 2 participants tell us that it would be better if there was chocolate cereals in breakfast and also fruits and juice, as more water in all lunches in restaurant.  

 

As we can see from the above results all the participants were satisfied to highly satisfy with their accommodation. One or maybe 2 different answers is physical to a training exchange of 30 people. Pissouriana apartments was the perfect place for this training. Some participants were disappointed with wifi connection probably in venue were all activities were done. We had decided before that we will not have wifi in the venue so all participants to participate in activities. Wifi was all the time open in our free time in Pissouriana apartments.

Also we can see that they were also highly satisfied with all night activities especially Cyprus night and International night. The only activity were the mean number was above 2 was Debate – Monoculture vs. Organic Farming that means they didn’t like it as much as they like all the others activities. 10 graphs are following with the answers of the participants in questions with high evaluation.

Which activity did you like most of all?

In this question we had a lot of answers, but the most popular activities were:

  1. Creating – building – finalizing and representing green company or green project  with a lot of difference between the other activities more than 12 participants like it more than all the others
  2. Exploring the outdoors, visiting a farm
  3. Calculate your ecological foot print
  4. Cyprus island 39 years after the energy destruction

Which activity did you like less of all?

Also In this question we had a lot of answers, but the activities that they don’t like them were:

  1. Debate monoculture vs organic farmers , was the activity that liked less in participants with big difference from the others
  2. Let every voice to be heard
  3. Web of life

Which activity was mean full? (a lot of things that you thought and you like it)

Also In this question we had a lot of answers, but the activities that they like them more and they were more meaning full for the participants were:

  1. Creating – building – finalizing and representing green company or green project  was the activity with a lot of meening for a lot of participants with big difference from the others
  2. Take a step forward
  3. Cyprus island 39 years after the energy destruction
  4. Calculate your ecological foot print

Which activity was mean less? (nothing to thing and you didn’t like it)

Also In this question we had a lot of answers, but the activities that they don’t like them and they were less meaning full for the participants were:

  1. Debate monoculture vs organic farmers was the activity with the less meaning for the most participants

 

As we can see from the above result the most popular activity was Creating – building – finalizing and representing green company or green project  and it was the activity with a lot of meanings. Is remarkable also that Cyprus island, 39 years after the Great Energy Destruction was popular to a lot of answers that means that it was the most discussable activity of the whole organisation.
