#aes22ADL to #aes23BNE - see you next year in #Brisbane!

I’ve heard you and we are together thinking about the role of #time, #equity, #language, #community, #listening, #invitation, #souls, #inclusion. Thanks to Uncle Frank, to the presenters, the volunteers, Bill and Fiona, and Conference Committee. …and to everyone. #aes22ADL

AES President #KiriParata. We are of the land and it is the land that nurtures us.’ It is our job to stretch our ears and be curious. #aes22ADL

Congratulations to you (the #rockstars) of the conference! #aes22ADL

Human-centred design…on-ramps and ‘green-runs’ to #evaluation. #EmergingEvaluators - how do people enter the field?! 🤓 AES Pathways Committee taking ideas for going forward! Thank you everyone for your sharing! How will you respond to ‘how was the conference’? #aes22ADL

So many different approaches, choice on #context Bang on about #EvaluativeThinking; don’t forget about designing interventions and integrating these spaces! Barrier to entry is language and terminology - work on definitions. Text processing and adding to #evaluations! #aes22ADL

Allow the program to set the agenda… 🤔 #TrojanMice (#TrojanBilby?) chipping away at the edge and responsibility to exercise it well. 🐭 Power imbalance in frameworks - mutual accountability #aes22ADL

Intentional and deliberate obligation plus permission for self-care (don’t feed the phirhanas) From people who have been coming for years to first-years and the generosity of sharing difficult ideas and thinking. #WorkingTogether in #Generosity #aes22ADL

Making values real and how these get woven into practice. #respect #empowerment Have tools can share with colleagues! #evaluation is a tool for #equity and practice. Become a noisy ally! #aes22ADL

#frenziedphirhanas and considering our own well-being. [keynote slides and EJA article?!] Cultural practices of weaving and the processes to prepare; how do we draw in other knowledge systems and thinking because these are just as important as the weaving itself 🤔#aes22ADL

Encouraging spaces for #ClimateChange and #Equity 🤔 #Equity and how to sneak it into evaluations; slow the processes down to consult or connect properly and weave equity in ‼️ Taking/giving responsibility to the groups and how to make them seen 🎉

Closing plenary facilitated by

@Dunc_Rintoul

and

@vanessahood20

. One more ‘weaving’ metaphor to get is going as we ‘Unfold the Conference Tapestry’ 😉 #aes22ADL

To create real change…need to look at own systems as well as systems within community. Governance impacts community-driven change, importance of reflective and reflexive practice. ‘RightWayGovernance’ - can’t assume, have responsibility with community. #aes22ADL

NSW Network also meeting Riverroom 1! Such great Networks!! #aes22ADL

Challenge for the final plenary… consider the poll question in

@Slidoapp

. 🤔 Looking forward to the sharing and discussion to come! #aes22ADL

Lunchtime session with SA Network. All SA residents (and non-SA) welcome. Come join the fun (and the Network) in Riverroom 2! #SANetwork

#BuildingConnections #aes22ADL #SchoolHubs #EvaluativeThinking

#BuildingConnections #aes22ADL #SchoolHubs - Considering time and realistic targets to demonstrate sustainability and progress. Life-course evaluation because data matures longitudinally. Power to predict, scale, and understand lifetime value.

Further analysis of relationship between #EvaluativeThinking and impact. Not seeing success when we generalise across the population. What impact at local and whole-of-system levels? Lot of investment going in and seeking results. How to hub and how to evaluate. #aes22ADL

#BuildingConnections #SchoolHubs #aes22ADL Sharing school site is challenging due to lack of funding. Seen to have impact for community, parents, and students but not many with a vision statement about facility sharing or data gathering around this goal.

Place-based approaches in schools as community hubs.
