Summer Institute in Program Evaluation
June 11 to 15, 2012 – Winnipeg, Manitoba
A community-university network has collaborated to build evaluation capacity and conduct applied evaluation research for knowledge development, exchange and utilization.
The annual Summer Institute in Program Evaluation brings together an inter-sectoral group of community-based practitioners and university students to exchange information about evaluation for improved planning and delivery.
The program targets:
- Project managers and coordinators responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of their programs, projects or organizations;
- Community leaders and workers with project responsibilities;
- Decision makers looking at new ways to make their programs more participatory and responsive to local needs;
- Undergraduate and graduate students seeking to improve their skills and knowledge in the area of community-based program evaluation;
- All those seeking to connect with students, practitioners and researchers involved in delivery and evaluation of a broad range of health and social services.
The Institute combines lectures, case studies and group work to introduce the concepts of participatory evaluation focusing on the social, economic and environmental determinants of well-being.
For more information about past or upcoming training contact Bohdanna Kinasevych at bkinasevych@healthincommon.ca or visit the website at http://thesummerinstitute.ca.
