We assist in establishing internal systems for planning, monitoring, evaluation, and learning. Ideally, we discuss these during the project's preparatory or initial phase.
We help you create space for conversations where everybody can meaningfully contribute and build on collective know-how. Our work is based on the "Art of Hosting" philosophy and participatory principles.

We will be happy to design and host internal learning events on project management, evaluation, hosting etc. Check this website for public learning events with international hosts and speakers, who bring innovative methods to the Czech Republic.

The Outcome Harvesting helps us collect observable changes in behavior and in relationships among actors. Then we verify when, where, and how the changes occurred, in what context, and what contributed to the outcomes - including the project (program) being evaluated.
