How will the effectiveness and prospects of the movement be evaluated? How do we know if the Big Break has achieved its goals? Like any government program or social project, the movement must have KPIs. We asked the experts what these indicators could be and how its social impact could be assessed in general.
According to Dmitry Sergeyev, the ideal is when the participants of the movement become independent individuals capable of finding effective managerial solutions in crisis situations, building teams and achieving results.
Among the possible indicators, the expert names social projects of the participants of the movement, how many of the alumni of this children’s organization continue to help this organization, how many parents have a positive attitude toward their child’s membership in the children’s organization.
Olga Zubkova believes that social impact can be measured by the extent to which aggression in children’s communities is reduced.
"I think one of the indicators is just that the child will stop being either the victim or the aggressor. With systematic, talented educational programs, with the interaction between family and school, with positive practices in place that allow children to fulfill their potential as a person, this is achievable. If we see how, on the one hand, an inclusive children’s environment is formed, the children’s community grows more humane, and, on the other hand, the child suicide and depression rates decrease, the incidence of bullying and teenage aggression is reduced, then we can say that we are on the right track," says Olga Zubkova.
Sociological studies may be the most relevant method of assessing social impact, according to Boris Podolny.
"Let me remind you that every process must have a customer, and the customer must have a strategy for what he wants the country to be in 20 years. First, we should measure the baseline numbers. Then follow up a year later, two years later, three years later, five years later, 10 years later. Then we can make conclusions. And the fundamental thing here is not to rush into adopting any strategic, methodological, or other documents. Because the worst thing you can do in or around educational or pedagogical systems is to reform them too often," says Boris Podolny.
The bill is currently undergoing a public review. In the next issue of the journal, based on the opinions and vision of various experts of the Positive Changes Factory as an actor and founder of the journal, we will offer our vision of how the new social children’s and youth movement should be structured.

Рынок импакт-инвестиций растет во всем мире, становятся более изящными его формы и виды. Если раньше инвестиции в решение социальных проблем могли быть похожи скорее на траты бюджетов КСО — «отдадим и забудем», то современное состояние рынка диктует другие правила. Новым стандартом становится учет не только вложенных средств, но и оценка социально-экономической эффективности получаемых результатов. Одним из таких «новых» форматов являются не так давно пришедшие и в Россию «СИБы» — называемые так от англоязычного термина Social Impact Bonds.
