Presented by Data Innovation Project

Traditional logic models are based on a theory of change. They may be logical, but they are not hopeful. Moreover, communities rarely see themselves reflected in traditional logic modeling, creating a disconnect between the program and the people. Pivoting from a model based on “logic” to one grounded in hope is a catalyst for inspired programming driven by community. Join Allyson Kelley, Dyani Bingham, Desiree Restad, and Kelley Milligan of Allyson Kelley and Associates for an inspiring conversation about the impact of reframing logic models to embrace artistic and cultural expression that are grounded in hope.

Learning outcomes

During this workshop we will:

  • Describe the theory of hope framework for program evaluation and strategic visioning in program planning and development
  • State differences in the theory of change and theory of hope and their uses
  • Use a visual theory of hope to inspire programming and partnerships
  • Determine the most appropriate and effective visualization process for specific audiences
  • Discuss ways to share the theory of hope that maximizes use and inspires impact

What is in it for participants?

After participating in this workshop, learners will be able to:

  • Conceptualize a theory of hope
  • Apply the theory of hope to their current programs and practices that support long-term visioning and perspective
  • Draw or digitally create a visual theory of hope
  • Have access to a variety of resources and free software to create theory of hope visualizations after the workshop

Who should participate?

This workshop is designed for evaluation and research professionals of all levels and all those curious to learn more about this innovative practice.
