IEI Summer Camp: Ripple Effect Mapping (NCSU Institute for Emerging Issues)
August 17, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am
Join us this August for our fourth annual IEI Summer Camp. Each year, summer camp offers an opportunity for community members to gather virtually and learn how to do on-the-ground work with new tools and strategies.
Summer Camp 2023: Ripple Effect Mapping
Ripple Effect Mapping (REM) is an easy-to-use evaluation process that captures the impacts – or “ripples” – of a program. The REM process allows groups to assess system-level changes that are a result of their programming, identify intended and unintended consequences, as well as areas of unmet need. It also fosters greater connectivity across stakeholder groups and allows for validation of results.
REM combines the models of appreciative inquiry and participatory engagement to build a more inclusive understanding of the impacts of a program. Past participants report how empowering it was to feel “seen” through this methodology, and the pride they felt in seeing their work mapped out.
This free workshop led by NC State Extension will outline both the philosophy of ripple effect mapping as well as steps used to put this into practice. There will be a general discussion of how this methodology can be applied in various settings.
Register for the session time that works for you. The same material will be presented at both sessions.
