Outputs, outcomes, and impacts in creative practice research

In this session, facilitated by Dr. Lyle Skains, participants will explore how to integrate the Theory of Change model into creative practice research. The workshop will guide researchers through building pathways to impact within their project planning, helping them to better articulate and achieve the broader societal and cultural effects of their work. Using case studies, the session will illustrate how adopting this approach can lead to more focused and impactful research outcomes. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to apply these strategies to their own creative practice research.
