Whiston, gender justice workers and founders of Watershed, Anna MacDonald and Caitlin MacDonald, and North Hastings community animator, Donna Reid, will present highlights of the report, reflect on partnership and share videos from the Countdown Digital Story. The event will also include snacks, a musical performance and art making activities.
What is the Evaluation Report?
The Countdown Public Art Project works with communities to create pebble mosaic monuments in public spaces to honour those affected by gender-based violence and to imagine, or count down to, a world without gender-based violence. This evaluation report presents project data; shares an overall view of Countdown Public Art Project experience; and aims to understand the impact of Countdown in its Grow Phase from 2020 to 2023. Evaluation for this project led to the identification of 9 key impacts and 5 recommendations.
