SIM4CSOs platform for virtual learning has been finalised by project partners and is now freely accessible in different languages: English, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Croatian, Polish, Norwegian.
The platform intends to provide civil society organisations (CSOs) with an online educational environment, where to learn a new methodology for social impact measurement, self-assess their current approach, exchange knowledge and practical experiences related to social impact measurement with other professionals through the project’s Facebook group.
Guided by INOVA+, project partners have co-developed the platform, tailoring it to the skill needs and training interests emerged from the Comprehensive Report and building on the key topics of the Methodological Manual, thus including:
- Introduction, with access to downloadable resources and to the Facebook Group of SIM4CSOs forum;
- Lesson 1. SIMM frameworks and key concepts: an overview of the course’s methodology and of the basic notions used in the course;
- Lesson 2. The SI(M)M framework: a description of the different stages to be undertaken in the process of social impact measurement;
- Lesson 3. Getting to work: an explanation of how to put your framework in practice;
- Final activity. Create your own SIMM Framework: a tool to guide users in the creation of their own framework step-by-step.
Thus, the resource provides CSOs’ professionals with a self-assessment tool, enabling them to evaluate the efficacy of their current SIMM framework, by simply registering and filling in with their data, and eventually review and improve their organisation’s practice over time.
The Erasmus+ project SIM4CSOs aims to support the creation of a community of professionals that shares the same vision about social impact measurement, by developing ad hoc resources to facilitate such a complex process.
The newly created platform will greatly contribute to this aim, offering a stimulus for more and more CSOs in the future.
