This presentation explains why and how it is possible to use narratives as a tool that stimulates discussion, reflection and learning within the formative evaluation process. It sets out a proposal for building narratives in transformative experiments through the use of transformative outcomes, to describe the changes observed and assumptions made during the implementation of a theory of change.

Thank you Matias! Building narratives is something that is mentioned in almost every meeting I have with activists, ngo’s, … any person or group involved in, in my case, working on a ‘just transition’.
The presentation mentions a certain divide between a paradigm based on logic and rationality and another based on narratives. I need to dig into those ideas.
Really looking forward to the tool as I believe that would help getting others involved in a very hands-on way.
Thank you Filip! Please see the tool, now up on the site at https://tipresourcelab.net/resource/tool-building-and-monitoring-a-tip-narrative/ 🙂
