Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this event, both adults and school aged children will gain a better understanding of the Polish culture through song and dance which is not currently available to experience in our area. Evaluation will occur through verbal interaction with both the audience in attendance and the performing artists, through their emotional reaction during the performance, and through brief written surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our event changed the lives of both participating artists and audience in attendance, and we measured our success based on the how far people traveled for this event (18% over 100 miles), participants level of knowledge gained of Polish Culture (92% of attendees), and return attendees for future events like this (98% would return again). This event was deemed very successful through these measurements.
