Evaluation Report
ACT (Action Climate Targets) Waterford is an interdisciplinary initiative by Waterford City and County Council (WCCC) and South East Technological University (SETU) funded by the Creative Ireland Climate Action Fund and coordinated by the Calmast STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Engagement Centre at SETU.
ACT 2 Waterford is the second phase of the project, which took place over a two year period (2024-2025).
The evaluation explored participants motivation for taking part, previous participation in climate action projects, views on the creative and climate action aspects of the experience, and attitudes and behaviour in relation to climate change. Participants provided feedback though surveys, interviews and written reflections. Creative practitioners were invited to share their view on the projects processes, successes, challenges, learnings and impacts on their practice.
Evaluation was conducted by Sinead Begley and Associates.
