Table 5 The four dimensions of the ‘Cube’ evaluation framework
Dimension | Description | Questions asked within the Workshops |
|---|---|---|
Voice | Strong voices discuss issues and influence decision-making. Weak voices may discuss issues, but have little influence on decision-making. | Did you feel like your voice was heard? |
Contribute | Knowledge can take on different forms, which may not be equally valued. A single involvement approach is likely to privilege one social/cultural group over another, thus perpetuating inequality. | Did you feel like there were enough activities to get involved in? |
Agenda | Public concerns are in the context of social action, e.g. public opinion, norms and values, as well as individual experiences and behaviours. Organisation’s concerns are, e.g. bureaucracies and markets. | Did you feel like the event was based on things that mattered to you? |
Change | Decision-makers’ willingness and ability to respond to issues raised by participants in knowledge spaces depend on contextual factors, e.g. economic resources and national policies. | Did you feel like the facilitators listened to you? |
