The Centre for Social Impact (CSI) is running a series of two-day interactive Outcomes Measurement Workshops across Australia.

This workshop will:

• provide you with a background to the relevance and importance of outcomes measurement
• teach you how to measure and assess your organisation’s impact, and

The WA Social Research Network was formed in August 2018, to bring together a range of collaborative, funded social research projects with a shared aim of creating positive social change for the WA community. The Network is holding its inaugural conference on 29-30 October 2019 Insights to Action - a unique opportunity for participants from universities, not-for-profit organisations, government and the private sector to draw on insights from robust research to design community solutions.

Day One will be dedicated to providing initial findings and observations from social research projects currently underway in WA, and day two a design workshop to apply the insights from day one to collectively develop innovative responses to challenging social issues.
