Title: Weaving Stories, Holding Impact: Indigenous and Arts-Based Approaches to Evaluation

 

Description:
What if evaluation could be a space of reflection, creativity, and transformation? In this session, Dr. Gladys Rowe will share Indigenous and decolonial approaches to evaluation that center relationship, story, and art. Together, we’ll explore how creative and culturally grounded methods—such as poetry, visual storytelling, and collective reflection—can support youth programs in honoring impact and learning in meaningful ways.
