Workshop goals
This online workshop aims to develop a general assessment tool/framework to allow practitioners to evaluate the impact of their non-formal learning activities, including assessing the general quality of the activity and specific knowledge, attitudes and improving scientific literacy.
Alignment with Euroscitizen goals
