A sticky wall is one way to collect qualitative feedback about outcomes from a large group. It can be particularly useful to find out whether you have achieved the planned outcomes at an event.
Useful for:
- Fairly quickly collecting qualitative feedback from large numbers of people
- Allowing participants to see the evaluation feedback for themselves.
“After attending four evaluation workshops with Martha, I learned about the sticky wall technique and heard from other organisations about how beneficial it has been for their evaluations.
We decided to use the sticky wall at our relaunch event back in November, where we shared upcoming dates for our peer support groups with staff, service users, and other organisations.
We asked attendees to share their experiences with peer support in the context of Lothian Centre for Inclusive Living (LCiL). Once everyone had added their ideas, we used the responses to map out the peer support journey — from how individuals find out about LCiL/peer support, to their experiences during the process, and the outcomes they achieve.
This exercise helped us better understand how to improve our event signposting and gave us valuable insight into what our service users value most and hope to gain from attending our peer support groups.”
