Telling Your Story: Data Collection to Demonstrate Local Impact
Date: Wednesday – October, 24 2018 Time: 9:30am - 11:00am
Room: University of Oklahoma Community Design Center Track: Community Development
Place-based work is multifaceted, and its value is something the field is still learning to communicate. During this session, Oklahoma cultural district leaders will discuss practical, successful methods for illustrating the impact of their community-building work. Acknowledging the diverse interests of their varied stakeholders, presenters will address the qualitative data they collect—both within their organization as well as from outside sources—and describe what relationships may be necessary to collect data effectively. Finally, presenters will share do-it-yourself tools and ideas for how to visually communicate your message.
