About the Event
As part of a global effort, EvalYouth Global Network and its regional chapters are preparing a series of Networking events in which experienced evaluators will be interviewed by Young and Emerging Evaluators to share the diverse trajectories of professionals who are dedicated to evaluation in the region.
Evaluation is a profession that is not widely offered in universities, evaluators become such in different ways. There has been interest from those starting their career in the field of evaluation in knowing the various paths in which professionals have arrived at the evaluation field and how they have developed their careers in this profession.
The foregoing in the understanding that the multidisciplinary, multisectoral and multilevel nature of evaluation practice gives it a complexity and richness that constitutes a fertile field for analysis, learning and inspiration for many.
In this scenario, several virtual regional events will be implemented in which reflections on the trajectory of a selection of 3 or 4 evaluators with recognized trajectories will be shared, the session interviewers are Young and Emerging Evaluators who will inquire on various aspects related to career development that can be inspiring for the audience.
In this space, reflections on the career trajectory of recognized evaluators and YEEs will be shared, with the goal to seek to generate synergies and promote intergenerational work strategies.
Additionally, this interview and exchange space between senior and junior evaluators will be implemented in other regions to stimulate a global conversation.
