Evaluation

In 2024, the Jewish Country Houses project was evaluated by an external consultant, Professor David Feldman, Director, Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism. The evaluation was commissioned as part of our programme of work supported by the Claims Conference and took place about ten years after the project first launched, with the aim of helping us understand our impact and achievements and where we could have made improvements. 

“The project’s exemplary record-keeping demonstrates its consistent effort to track its impact on public understanding. The project has tried to gauge impact where possible noting where audiences have ‘reported changes in views, opinions, behaviour’ or have led to ‘requests for further information’ or ‘plans for future activity’. However, this sort of evidence paints with a broad brush. The project has done well to gather more substantive feedback from its mobile exhibitions and from conferences.”
