Workshop #1
Using photovoice to evaluate a program or intervention
What can photovoice tell us, what can’t it tell us, and what should we put alongside it?
Wednesday, 12/2 at 1-2:30pm EST
Workshop #2
Evaluating Photovoice Projects
How can we measure the outcomes and broader impacts of photovoice, explain how it happened, and build a feasible mixed-method evaluation?
Wednesday, 12/9 at 1-2:30pm EST

Note:
- These workshops assume learners have a basic understanding of the photovoice method and steps. However, learners are not required to have completed a photovoice activity or used the method in the past to join us.
Workshop #1: Using photovoice to evaluate a program or intervention
What can photovoice tell us, what can’t it tell us, and what should we put alongside it?
Wednesday, 12/2 at 1-2:30pm EST
Photovoice can offer perspectives and insights that traditional evaluation methods may miss. When is it the right method to use, and what should you pair it with?
In this 90-minute interactive workshop, participants will explore how photovoice can fit within a broader program evaluation design. We’ll examine when photovoice is a strong fit, what it can uniquely contribute. We will also consider how evaluation questions, photo prompts, participant interpretation, complementary data sources, and ethical considerations shape the usefulness of the findings.
Participants will then put these ideas into practice by working through a realistic evaluation scenario and designing a photovoice component as part of a broader evaluation approach.
Participants will learn how to:
- Determine when photovoice is a strong fit for an evaluation question.
- Explain how photovoice can complement other methods within a broader evaluation design.
- Develop photo prompts and follow-up questions aligned with an evaluation question or outcome.
- Apply design strategies that strengthen the credibility, participation, safety, and accessibility of photovoice findings.

Workshop #2: Evaluating Photovoice Projects
How can we measure the outcomes and broader impacts of photovoice, explain how it happened, and build a feasible mixed-method evaluation?
Wednesday, 12/9 at 1-2:30pm EST
Photovoice can produce outcomes ranging from individual empowerment to community action and policy change. How can we conduct evaluation when its intended effects extend far beyond individual participants?
In this 90-minute workshop, participants will explore how the Social Ecological Model (SEM) can provide a framework for evaluating photovoice across multiple levels of change—from individual knowledge, agency, and behavior to interpersonal relationships, organizational practices, community capacity, and public policy. We’ll examine a range of quantitative and qualitative methods that can be used to document both what changed and how or why change occurred.
Participants will then consider how to build a feasible mixed-method evaluation model rather than trying to measure everything. Working across the five SEM levels, we will explore how approaches such as pre/post surveys, photo-elicitation interviews, network mapping, organizational assessments, community indicators, policy tracking, and Most Significant Change stories can be combined to create a coherent picture of photovoice processes and outcomes.
Participants will learn how to:
- Identify evaluation outcomes across the five levels of the Social Ecological Model (SEM) for photovoice that can be assessed.
- Compare quantitative and qualitative methods for assessing individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and public policy outcomes.
- Apply SEM-based evaluation strategies to select complementary methods that address both photovoice processes and intended outcomes and impacts.
- Develop a feasible mixed-method evaluation design that connects evaluation questions, SEM levels, measures, and sources of evidence.
