Purpose of the feedback study

The study of the feedback from the participants in the evaluation workshop is a practice that aims to establish their satisfaction with the benefits, organization and content of the event process. The results of the feedback are indicative of the effectiveness of the interactions and the overall management of the project and provide an opportunity to identify areas for piloting activities.

Instruments
