Impact, quality and reporting in the new KA220-HED projects

A training seminar addressed to beneficiaries implementing KA220-HED projects starting with the 2022 open call that are based on the lump sum funding model. The aim of this activity is to improve the understanding of what impact means in correlation with the objectives and how could it be proved, to support beneficiaries to formulate adequate indicators and give them instruments to monitor the progress and to realise an evaluation, to elaborate methods of ensuring and measuring the quality of results through indicators; to prepare beneficiaries for the final report stage.

Expected results:

·       Improvement of results developed by beneficiaries to become more impactful at all expected levels;

·       beneficiaries develop knowledge about ensuring and measuring quality, through appropriate methods and indicators;

·       final reports prepared for the projects are complete and provide descriptions of the achieved results and impact, demonstrating that the appropriate quality was reached objectives and indicators are reached;

·       beneficiaries learn how to report on WPs completion and  how the assessment of indicators will be done by external evaluators;

·       no budget reductions due to poor project implementation after evaluations of final reports.

Target groups: 2022 and 2023 approved KA220-HED projects’ coordinators

Expected number of participants: 50

Duration: 1, 5 days

! IMPACT (Desired impact)
The larger and broader social or other changes which also take place as a result of other players and factors:

You have analysed this change and designed the project in such a way that it will contribute to this change.

However, you cannot measure this outcome. The project will only have a small influence in this respect.

Examples in KA2 include improving the connection between young people and the labour market.

Read more
+ OUTCOME (Expected impact)
The smaller or greater changes which you wish to achieve when you have carried out the activities. Changes which "stick":

The effects of the project, the output, lead to this change.

These changes are long-term and continue to exist ​​after the project comes to an end.

They become visible immediately or up to 6 months after the project.

The expected impact is anticipated to contribute to the desired impact.

Examples in KA2 include changes in teaching quality, behaviour, motivation, skills, and so on.

= OUTPUT
The products which derive directly from the activities:

These products often include actual results which are stated in the scope of the work or work plan, such as the number of mobilities, events held, products developed, messages communicated (supported by attendance lists, reports, current products, and so on). We do not regard these actual results as changes.

All the output together must lead to the expected impact.

Examples in KA2 include staff mobility focused on the new teaching techniques for inclusive education and established collaboration with the art academy in Madrid.

> ACTIVITIES
Which activities within the project will be carried out during the project period?

You design activities which lead to the output and consequently the results which you would like to see.

In other words, determining the selection criteria, type of partners and supervision is BASED on the expected results.

You need financing, staff time and expertise to implement the activities.

The public transport system in Bucharest is one of the densest in Europe, with a network of 116 bus lines, 20 trolleybus lines and 25 tram lines, including the light rail, whizzing around the city from morning to night.

Map the routes of surface public transport can be viewed on the STB website.

To use buses, trams, or trolleybuses, you must first purchase an 'Activ' or 'Multiple' magnetic card  from any STB street kiosk, which you then load with credit for your trip.

Trips cost 3 RON (0.6 EUR) each and you can travel for 90 minutes on multiple lines. You have to validate the card each time you enter the tram or bus. Travelling without a validated card risks an 80 RON fine on-the-spot.

You can plan a route on the STB website or with the help of mobile apps such as Google Maps, Moovit, or Transport Urban.

Passenger transport in Bucharest is also provided by the subway network, which is among the most used public transport systems.

The route map can be found on the Metrorex website.

The network consists of four lines (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5), with 63 stations.

The use of the subway system in Bucharest is based on a magnetic card, which you can buy directly from stations or from vending machines.

Trips cost 3 RON (0.6 EUR) each.

If you prefer to enjoy the quick city sight-seeing from a comfortable car, you can take an Uber or Bolt.

You already know the drill if you used it before. Just make sure you have the app on your mobile phone and the hotel address! Fares may vary depending on the distance and on the traffic hour.

We recommend that you to use the counters at the airport arrivals hall for ordering taxis or get the train (4 mins walk from the airport). It is advisable to avoid taxis outside the airport/train station.  If your option still stays for a taxi, keep in mind that the average cost should be around 50 - 60 RON (around 12 EUR), but you will have to pay in cash, in the national currency.
