Evaluation Capacity Network: Cultivating Safe Spaces

Tue, Nov 26, 2024

11:00 AM - 12:30 PM MDT

Session Details

Co-hosted with Jen Greenway, creator of the Go Smudge Yourself podcast, this workshop will focus on decolonizing relational practices in evaluation through the adoption of an Indigenized mental framework. In doing so, participants will learn how to effectively hold space for the varying personality types they encounter. Grounded in a Syilx framework that highlights Indigenous kinship pedagogy, participants will learn about the “Four Perspectives” (traditional, innovative, relationship, and action) and what each perspective needs to feel safe. Participants will also learn communication styles and problem-solving techniques that will enable them to co-create safe spaces with both their colleagues and clients.

 

We will be hosting a follow-up discussion session the first week of December 2024. Stay tuned for more information and registration details!
