Is the dissemination phase important for an evaluation? What are the main types of dissemination products available? Who should be the target group for the dissemination phase? This webinar aims to explain the importance of the dissemination phase to communicate your evaluation results, share the results of an ESS study on the subject and provide examples of good dissemination products used by EU Delegations and Units.

The Toolkit aims first at intensifying the use of social dialogue as a governance tool in the EU development policy design and implementation in order to increase the EU interventions effectiveness, ownership and inclusiveness; and second at strengthening social dialogue mechanisms in partner countries so it becomes a useful governance tool to run inclusive social and economic policies and especially to design national post-COVID recovery strategies and programmes.

The concept of sleep learning, or hypnopedia, has a long history. In 1914, Rosa Heine found that learning new material in the evening before sleep results in better recall compared to learning during the day. Thanks to many studies done since then, we now know that sleep is crucial for forming long-term memories of what we have encountered during the day. The type of learning that happens during sleep tends to involve pairing, conditioning, and associations. Therefore, sleep learning can be useful to improve our languages skills, or to better remember music and melodies.
