It can be a bittersweet moment, wrapping up on the evaluation of a project that has been years and masses of hard work in the delivery, and the final sign-off for the Everything to Everybody project was no different.
More than any other project I’ve had the privilege of being involved in, this project brought together widely diverse communities in celebration of Shakespeare’s First Folio and proved that real engagement takes place where the people are, not where we think they ‘should be’. Plus, I got to work with a great team of evaluators, headed up by Jenni Waugh Consulting Ltd.
“The team delivered 89 events, including 14 exhibitions, either in LoB or at 40+ community venues, schools or libraries across Birmingham. It is estimated that:
- 11,793 people had a close-up view of the First Folio during the project, 3,342 of whom did so during the First Folio Tour
- 14,839 participants attended activities in schools and communities
- 255,685 people visited the exhibitions in LoB.
- IN TOTAL, over 270,500 people took part in E2E activity across the project lifetime”
