Indigenous Initiatives Evaluation Series

What does it mean to design evaluation in ways that center community accountability, build trust, and challenge colonial assumptions? 

The Indigenous Initiatives Evaluation Series is a three-part interactive workshop series hosted by CTLT Indigenous Initiatives. This series invites UBC faculty, staff, and students to reimagine how we assess success and impact; moving towards more relational, community-centered approaches to evaluation. 

Over three interactive sessions, you’ll be guided through deep self-reflection, hands-on activities, and conversations that support the development of your personal decolonial evaluation practices. 

In this series, you will: 

  • Learn how colonial systems shape current evaluation models 
  • Explore evaluation approaches that are relational, transparent, and reciprocal 
  • Develop your own evaluation approach informed by Indigenous and Liberatory frameworks 
  • Move through the experience with a dedicated cohort of learners
