In just five days, we will host the First Gathering of Participatory Evaluation Experiences for the region of Latin America and the Caribbean, and we want to invite you to enjoy the run-up with us.

Over the next few days, we will share everything that we are excited about regarding this gathering. That way, you will participate with us, from our perspective, through our eyes. And by doing so, you will become another one of the participants in this experience.

As you already know, the First Gathering of Participatory Evaluation Experiences for the region of Latin America and the Caribbean will take place in Quito, Ecuador from the 18 to the 22 of November.

Close your eyes (metaphorically! we want you to keep reading this post!) and imagine that you have the ability to teleport yourself. Not just to Quito, but imagine that you had the ability to go, in the blink of an eye, to various places in Latin America and experience different experiences in distinct communities, observe and debate about the roles involved in these situations, get fully informed… and all this through the Participatory Evaluation lens.

As we have previously commented, the aims of this gathering are to: learn from the experiences of those present; agree on basic principles and characteristics for a PE process; determine the role, skills and attitudes required for those who facilitate PE processes; and share tools to facilitate PE processes.

Over the next few days, we will go over these points in more depth and give you a preview of some of the activities which will take place. All without giving away any spoilers!

Bye for now from the EvalParticipativa team.
