The PrEval Topics

The PrEval project aimed to strengthen evaluation and quality management in the fields of extremism prevention, democracy promotion and civic education. Through scientific analyses, dialogical exchanges, and a broad transfer strategy, PrEval worked in the following fields in particular:

First, the thematic field of monitoring took a look at existing evaluation capacities in Germany; second, it surveyed international experiences and approaches to solutions in PrEval’s thematic fields; and third, it elaborated new developments in evaluation research. PrEval especially invited everyone to participate in the “Zukunftswerkstatt” on Evaluation Research. The results of the monitoring as well as further analyses from PrEval are presented in a “PrEval Monitor”.
The analysis, testing and assessment of evaluation instruments and methods was the focus of several PrEval pilot studies. The focus was on (digital) civic education as well as on security-relevant cooperation contexts and complex advisory settings.
Dialogue between the different groups of actors was a central component of the project. The “Zukunftswerkstätten” ensured the exchange between research and professional practice and thus contributed to the development of needs-driven approaches and support structures. The findings from PrEval were disseminated to the public through further exchange formats, events and open access publications.

Participation in PrEval’s “Zukunftswerkstätten” and workshops was open to all interested parties. Information on current events can be found on the “Events” page.
