SUMMARY:Evaluation Conference- CES 2018
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Evaluation Society's annual conference will b
 e held in Calgary in 2018. The conference theme is 'Co-Creation'\r\n\r
 \n\r\n\r\nTHEME\r\nCo-creation is about meaningfully engaging people t
 o create mutually valued outcomes together, collaborating towards a co
 mmon goal.  In our practice, we ask questions, investigate, apply too
 ls, collect data, and measure results. We combine expertise and object
 ivity to understand different perspectives, realities and interests. 
  Is it possible that we inherently privilege our worldviews? Do we mak
 e space to truly honor and incorporate the knowledge, values, culture 
 and lived experiences of those we engage with?\r\n \r\nEvaluators oft
 en operate from a position of privilege and influence – representing
  a funder or the agency responsible for delivering a program.  Tradit
 ionally, clients or target groups are seen as the objects of evaluatio
 n.  Approaches like developmental evaluation, participatory evaluatio
 n and empowerment evaluation have attempted to address these power imb
 alances through a variety of methods; but collaboration and consultati
 on often fall short of true partnership.\r\n \r\nWith our theme of co
 -creation, we hope to explore the concept of evaluation without domini
 on.  Co-creation challenges traditional power relationships. It requi
 res an evaluator to be a methodological expert, facilitator, critic, a
 lly and strategic thinker who can move evaluation to enable change.whi
 le sharing jurisdiction.  It speaks to developing true partnerships, 
 to building evaluations from the ground up and to acknowledging that o
 ther methods and perspectives have equal weight to our own.\r\n\r\n\r\
