Evaluation

In 2005 Ignite! commissioned an evalution of the programme from Annabel Jackson Associates.

The summary report suggested that Ignite! had designed a powerful process – in particular the descriptions of Ignite! by its participants gave us the confidence to consider the wider implications and opportunities for the programme when we decided to pursue the journey towards independence.

Here are some of the comments:

Creativity is a very intellectual process. (workshop facilitator)
Creativity is about feeling that you are on a cliff edge and knowing not to panic. (workshop facilitator)
Creativity is a mind that can free flow. (workshop faciliator)
Creativity is seeing the world as a whole instead of the school subjects, which are taught separately. (Young person)
Creativity is the only thing that separates human beings from the animals. Without it we would just be ants. (workshop facilitator)
Creativity lies at the heart of every great step forward that mankind has taken, whether art, innovation or social justice. (workshop facilitator)
Creativity is about problem solving, and problem solving is the most important skill you can teach. (mentor)
Without creativity, you will sit back in ten years time and think “I wish I had done that". (mentor)
