 To help the participants become **more aware of what they have learned**, **how they went through the learning process** and **how they can put their knowledge into practice** it is essential to gather them several times after their return and feed their thinking through **assessment activities**. To help the participants become **more aware of what they have learned**, **how they went through the learning process** and **how they can put their knowledge into practice** it is essential to gather them several times after their return and feed their thinking through **assessment activities**.
  
-The impact of a Heterotopia Tour on a person is not easy to assess and describe, especially for a person who is not used to non-formal education and self-evaluation. Most of the participants will need your **support to recognize and put into words the  abilities** they have worked on and acquired.{{ :​guide:​heterotopiestpm2-28.jpg?​200|}}+The impact of a Heterotopia Tour on a person is not easy to assess and describe, especially for a person who is not used to non-formal education and self-evaluation.

 Given that change takes time, we believe the support you will provide to the participants should not stop at the meetings and interview(s) we described above. The challenge will be to **keep the contact with the participants on the longer term**; to keep supporting them in their efforts to look after themselves and to put into practice what they have learned during the Tour. Back to their daily life and routine, their wishes, intentions and propositions could easily turn into a nice memory, without a real effect on their lives. Given that change takes time, we believe the support you will provide to the participants should not stop at the meetings and interview(s) we described above.

 In order to assess impacts, you will have to identify and evaluate the change that happened in the participants’ life after the Tour, following a **timeline** and a **cause-effect pattern**: //The Participant and their reality before the Tour **-->** Heterotopia Tour **-->** Change in the participant (new knowledge and skills, information on opportunities,​ changed behavior and attitudes, changed habits, changed relationship-network,​ etc.)** -->** Change in the reality and life of the participant,​ triggered by the participant themselves//​ In order to assess impacts, you will have to identify and evaluate the change that happened in the participants’ life after the Tour, following a **timeline** and a **cause-effect pattern**: //The Participant and their reality before the Tour **-->** Heterotopia Tour **-->** Change in the participant (new knowledge and skills, information on opportunities,​ changed behavior and attitudes, changed habits, changed relationship-network,​ etc.)** -->** Change in the reality and life of the participant,​ triggered by the participant themselves//​

 One good practice is to exchange knowledge between an organization which already has implemented a Tour with success, and one which hasn't yet but intends to is "​**peer-to-peer trainings**"​. This method offers a **dynamic transmission**,​ with a **community-based approach**: it creates space for transmitting not only the methodology but also the values of the Tour, and to **connect objectives and ideas together**, which connect the participating people. Peer-to-peer trainings also enrich the theoretic knowledge by **connecting with the experience of the learners** through (audio)visual tools, testimonials,​ demonstrations etc. This methodology supports the participants to have a **holistic understanding** on the social, educational,​ political and economic aspects of the Tour, **linking it to real-life experience and tangible results.** One good practice is to exchange knowledge between an organization which already has implemented a Tour with success, and one which hasn't yet but intends to is "​**peer-to-peer trainings**"​.

 In order for the training to reach its objectives, we recommend to **limit the number of participants** (12 to 15 persons maximum at a time) so that there is space for everyone to express, interact, observe, absorb and co-create. In order for the training to reach its objectives, we recommend to **limit the number of participants** (12 to 15 persons maximum at a time) so that there is space for everyone to express, interact, observe, absorb and co-create.
 In-depth training should include a **practical exercise** so that learners can experiment the method and get familiar with it. Ideally, these trainings rely on the **“learning by doing” methodology**:​ youth and social workers (facilitators,​ educators, trainers) should in the first place **experience the Heterotopia Tour** in order to develop a sensitive approach of it, resembling the experience that the participants will get later. Then, by **mixing theory and practice**, they will get the opportunity to master the tool, so that they can better implement it according to their context and target groups. In-depth training should include a **practical exercise** so that learners can experiment the method and get familiar with it.

-**Involving the participants of the Tour** in the event is a great follow-up activity, because they can acquire additional skills and gain confidence in their abilities. As it might be their first time organizing a public event or presenting something in front of an audience, you should provide them with guidelines and support so they can feel more confident and ready to meet the challenges they have chosen for themselves.+**Involving the participants of the Tour** in the event is a great follow-up activity, because they can acquire additional skills and gain confidence in their abilities. ​

 In the case of the //Idea(l)s in Action// project, we have set up a partnership with **documentary film-makers** to produce **high-quality video coverage** of the projects we visited and on the Heterotopia Tours in themselves. We have chosen a storytelling-method and a shape for the video-reportages which enable us to **broadcast the contents on various channels** and which contribute to directly involve the audience.
