Dissemination and Impact:How to share and recognise results

Dissemination and Impact
Key parts of Erasmus+
30% of the total application score
Usually the weakest area in project applications
![Page 3: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
So, what are they?!
Dissemination = What we’ve learned, and how you can use it
Impact = The difference the project makes (to attitudes, methods, systems…)
Don’t confuse either with Promotion(= ‘Check out our project!’)

Plant your seeds in prepared soil!

Dissemination Plan
• What do you want to achieve? Be realistic• Identify strengths in the project team
(video/social media/writing/photography…)• Include participants & whole organisation
• Keep a record of everything!• Assess the plan periodically:
who has been reached?
![Page 9: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dissemination Plan
For effective dissemination, you must identify:
who can benefit from your knowledge (audience)
what you want them to know (message)
how you can reach them (method).
![Page 10: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Who is in your audience?
• Who will benefit from the knowledge you have to share?
• Who can take your information and put it into action?
• Think beyond your immediate network!
![Page 11: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What do you want them to know?
• What’s the aim of your project? • What would you like to know about other
projects?• What do you wish you’d known before
you started?
![Page 12: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How do you connect?
• Where do your audience get their information?
• What methods are you already using (email, newsletter, blog, notice board)?
• What wider networks are available to you (unions/special interest groups/
regional groups?
![Page 13: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tips on Audience
• Listen to how they communicate; be prepared to ‘flex’ your style and tone
• Use the channels that they use (newsletter/Facebook/presentations…)
• Give context – will they know the terms that you do? (E+ KA1 = how many?!)
• Assess which audiences are hardest to reach and prioritise your efforts

Tips on Message
• Agree your core message and keep your word choice consistent
• Make it attractive and recognisable: ‘brand’ colours, fonts, logos, images
• Develop guidelines for colleagues/participants• Write for the medium
(remember online wri ng ≠ wri ng for print)
![Page 15: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Tips on Method
• Social media is for conversation, not just announcements
• Choose 2‐3 platforms max; interact often• Build networks of similar organisations
• Recruit participants to join in• Facebook ‐make a page not a profile!

Know your Goals
What impact do you expect to see?(= why are you doing this project?)
How will you recognise this impact?(= what are your ‘champagne
moments’?)Be as specific as possible

Contribute to Bigger Change

Measuring Impact
Consider where you are now, and where you want to go
(If your six‐month plan is to lose weight and you end at 10 stone,
it’s helpful to know if you started at 12 stone or 10 stone 2 )
![Page 28: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sources of Evidence
Before and after: InterviewsSurveys
Reflective journalsPeer observation (video/work)
![Page 29: Dissemination and Impact - Léargas · 2017. 5. 30. · Communications & Impact Research Léargas ... Dissemination and Impact: How to share and recognise results. Dissemination and](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052021/6035ad7e29eed26d70253d22/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Using Evidence
Get specific: Who will do the interviews?
When? How? What questions?Use common sense:
Design a survey for five people, or have a discussion? Open questions:
Do you think motivation has changed? How has motivation changed?
