Part 1: February 2, 2024 | 11:00am-2:30pm MT
In this introductory Indigenous evaluation workshop, participants will examine their personal perceptions, bridge the gap between Western theory and Indigenous perceptions of evaluative thinking, and begin to utilize evaluation tools. Facilitators will lead participants through the implementation, analysis, and reporting of two major tools that act as interventions. This workshop is organized for the broader Navigating the New Arctic community. It is designed to build awareness about Indigenous evaluation and build foundational knowledge. Anyone from novice to expert is invited to attend this training.
Part 2: February 9, 2024 | 11:00am-2:30pm MT
Participants dive deeper into evaluation topics in this more advanced Indigenous evaluation workshop. Participants will explore what is considered a decolonized lens for measuring and defining success and explore the disconnect between that lens and current metrics. The training will guide participants to understand how evaluation can contribute to this shift and how evaluators can act as agents of change. This workshop is steadfast in strength-based solutions that honor, respect, and embrace Indigenous Knowledge. This workshop details this new way of business that supports decolonization and undertakes such direction using steps and stages that can be adopted, to suit participants' current research project and evaluation contexts. This workshop is organized for the broader Navigating the New Arctic community. It builds on the workshop part 1. It is designed so that those experienced with Indigenous evaluation will learn new content.
