Join the pilot of the Theory of Impact for GCE
May 6, 2026

IDEA is excited to be launching the new Theory of Impact for GCE tool on Tuesday, 19 May, 11.00am - 1.00pm, online. Register here .

IDEA is now recruiting a group of members to pilot the new tool to measure our collective impact. This is a really exciting opportunity to be part of a first wave of measuring the collective impact of our GCE work in Ireland. We hope to have 20-25 members of IDEA involved in the pilot and we will provide plenty of support along the way.


The pilot process starts with a training session as part of the launch of tool on Thursday 19 May. Register here .


The pilot process will be led by IDEA staff and will support IDEA members to strengthen capacity to measure the impact of DE/GCE work and input relevant data into a common tool enabling us to articulate our impact as a sector. The pilot of this tool supports the roll-out of our collective Theory of Impact for GCE developed by IDEA members and launched in 2025.


The following schedule is in place for the pilot process:

  • 19 May: Launch of the tool and Training
  • May – July: Pilot time for IDEA members including support from IDEA
  • Mid- August: Close the pilot
  • Mid August – mid September: Analysis of the data in the tool
  • September: Feedback from members involved in piloting
  • September: Presentation of findings on the collective impact of GCE


Please contact lizzy@ideaonline.ie to book your place as part of the pilot or to ask any questions related to the process.
