Lines of inquiry
The quantitative data collected by the survey are combined to qualitative information to support the patterns observed. The questions have been designed according to the outcome matrix. The conference evaluation will look primarily at the impact of the conference on the participants and the specific lines of inquiry created in collaboration with the event team as presented below:
| Survey Objectives | Lines of inquiry |
| Document change in knowledge of the participants about cultural heritage protection for religious minorities
|
Did the participants attend other conferences on cultural heritage ?
Did the beneficiaries benefit from the Conference? |
| Identify if the outcomes of the conference have been achieved | How did they respond to the panels?
What lessons have they learned from the Conference? |
Limitations
It was initially planned to share the pulse survey with all the participants. However, this was not possible because of logistical and schedule modifications. The partners limited the dissemination of questionnaires during the conference. The assessment of the conference is, therefore, focused on the impact of the event on the participants.
