1 INTRODUCTION

or consortia to undertake formative and summative research over
* months in collaboration with a dedicated
project worker and young people participating in the programme. Please
open word/pdf docs for a comprehensive overview of the Request for
Tender.
2 CONTEXT
Learning Hub Limerick works in partnership with parents, education
providers, statutory agencies and the wider Limerick community to
provide a safe, welcoming and inspiring learning environment where
children and young people can reach their true potential.
The Creative Aftercare Communities Project is an interagency
collaboration hosted by Learning Hub Limerick and funded primarily
through Creative Ireland’s Youth Nurture Fund. The project works
with young people ( * – **Apply on the
website** years) transitioning from Care or already in Aftercare,
supporting them through a dedicated project worker, to identify and
engage in creative opportunities. In particular the project will focus
to ensure participation of young people in aftercare who are not in
receipt of an aftercare allowance.
3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Creative Aftercare Communities project wishes to run a
research-accompanied piece alongside direct work with young people
over the lifetime of the project. The successful applicant will work
directly with the Project Worker and young people engaged in the
project to understand the impact the project has on the lives of
project participants. The evaluation should have a mixed methods
approach and look to creative forms of evaluation when engaging with
project participants. The format of the final evaluation report also
has the potential to be in the form of a creative medium developed in
collaboration with the young people participating in the project. A
more conventional parallel report will also be needed for future
potential stakeholders.
While the primary objective of the Creative Aftercare Communities
project is to support young people to pursue their creative interests,
the project sponsors are interested in any secondary outcomes that
emerge from their engagement (such as improved interaction with social
worker, improved mood or wellbeing etc.).
The project will be establish a youth forum made up of interested
project participants. The successful applicant will be expected to
engage with this youth forum across the lifetime of the project.
Applications that place an emphasis on creative approaches to
evaluation will be viewed favourably. For more guidance on this see
